If you're using an old cork gasket, say from a Paydens set picked up from an autojumble or one you've had for years, you're pretty sure to find that the cork has dried out and shrunk. That doesn't make for a good fit. Soak overnight in water to bring them back to size. Dry well with kitchen roll or a towel. Try a rocker box cork gasket before and after soaking and you should be able to see the difference. A new gasket kit should be fine.
