It looks like Amazon sells The Right Stuff for around 10 bucks. I saw another place listing it at around 6.50. I couldn't even find it on Summit. Ultra Copper has a greater temp range, but that may not matter for this particular application.

The stuff on amazon is a cartridge for a caulking gun vs the can from jegs is a pressurized deal. Not that it really matters. I would have bought it that way if doing it again.
Check out the sales pitch below on right stuff, apparently they use it in production with GM now:
This latest elastomeric rubber gasket technology is blowout resistant and out performs pre-cut gaskets. Resists ATF, coolant, oil and other shop fluids. Temp range -75°F to 450°F. Sensor safe. Specified on production lines by GM, Ford, DaimlerChrysler and Mercedes-Benz.
