because theres a baffle in between the oil pan and block, make sure you get new longer bolts, with 2 gaskets, the old one are not going to fit. measure the bolts and gaket thickness, a few mm too long of a bolt and it bottom out on the block. too short and it wont reach or strip the threads.

you are going to need to clean off the old rtv anyways for the paper gasket, why not just use RTV?
instead of buying a 4 dollar tube of RTV now you are going to spend 15 dollars on bolts, 11 on gasket, and down time getting the right bolts. also risk oil seepage from the crappy paper gasket in the long run, if its paper, oil will seep.
