IL What front cover gasket is best?

Hey just put a used S5 keg in my 91 and the front cover is leaking, part of the gasket pushed out and is just not there anymore. I am looking on mazdatrix to see what gasket to get and they show the 1313bRE gasket can be used on all, its the metal one. They do not list what combination of o-ring or teflon seal is needed though.
Has anyone used this gasket on an S5 and what o-rings did you use? thanks

I can't speak from experience, but this RX-8 gasket seems like a nifty idea.

either the Rx8 gasket or the N390 gasket is best. with those they actually only use the gasket the O ring is eliminated
