the gasket that I bought was purchased in the last 2 weeks. Although I appreciate the response from Roger regarding the production status of the gasket, it's hard to believe that something I bought that recently was in the 'first batch of production".
I did get it installed, and I don't have tons of time to chase parts and wait for replacement items. Plus, once I got it installed, I really didn't feel like doing the job all over again, especially since I put on a brand new gasket when the engine was out. If it leaks when I get my clutch back in my posession and installed, I will reach out directly.

I just talked to @SeanR about this.

I told roger not to toss the first run gaskets and I'd use them in house. So hayden, as mercedes was on vacation, grabbed from the wrong stack of gaskets.
So there yea go, honest mistake. I think we all know the best plan of action in a situation like this is to call the vendor first.
