I would stay with metal gasket..

There is a plug in where dist goes .. Pull that.

Then you can take a long brush and clean the gallery oil supply . just remember to put another plug back in...I forgot..

I would also take the plate off the Melling pump..and make sure no paper is in gears.

And I still would pull piston..and main caps. And pull the crank.. And clean those oil holes too.
