Probably enough there to do 6-7 gaskets, need a set of wad punches, a craft knife to cut out the inside and you're all set to make some gaskets that will be resilient, oil-proof and will hold the oil inside the engine a long time.

Wad punches ^^^^^

Used that stuff on my other beast to make gaskets that were NLA and originally a sort of large "O" ring but not circular in profile and not available from any other source. Still leak free after about 7 years

Do you think that material would work for the cam cover on a B21 Dave? The issue might be those two right angle (almost) bends where it turns over the camshaft seal at the end.
