Well, you're right, Ray.  That's why I said after 20 years...

And I'm nearly certain it's not an FIPG (formed-in-place or
foam-in-place) gasket.  Instead you buy the gasket at the
dealer****p for $16.

A challenge with the 18 bolts is they each require seal packing
that must be applied within a certain time limit.  Plus 5 or 6
of the bolts are really hard to get to.

But as I mentioned, this is a job that you might want to
do after 20 years, not regularly.
