I recently put on a Chrome 8.8" Differential Cover on my Explorer and well, it started to leak some. What I would recommend, instead of using ANY type of paper type gasket or any other type of gasket, use silicone. Yes, Silicone is messy and could possibly get on the edge of your chrome, but don't put too much and smear it on a thin enough layer that it will make a good seal, but won't come gushing out the sides. If it does get too gunky on the sides, use a razor blade to trim it up. Also, be sure you have a smooth surface on the cover and the differential itself. No need for someone else to make the same mistake. Just a little heads up.
