Greg, this is what I’m dealing with, the before picture shows the size of the in the heat exchanger. The hole is oversized due to a factory gasket that crumbled from age. I bought some automotive exhaust gasket material and fashioned a replacement, with the approximate size hole of the original. Hope it works. Just waiting for the high temp rtv to set up before I fire it up.

High temp rtv



New gasket, didn’t have a 1” hole saw, had to free hand it.
