I found the thick REAL gaskets to be too wide and interfered with the baffle edges making a poor fit. The thin OEM gaskets fit well and I have had the same luck as those above. Love them.

I found tat the better I get at making baffles, the flatter the sit on the rocker box flange, and when they sit flat, the large seal just lays over the edge, and still seals fine. That and torquing the covers properly, as others have said!
