94 Gasket On A 93 Oil Pan; Will It Seal?

[Drg racr]

I've got a 94 Explorer that has a 93 oil pan on it. I used a 94 gasket on it, which is flat aluminum. The 93 is a rubber rope-type seal that sits in a groove in the pan rail. Will it leak? Just wondered if anyone else has run into this problem.

I was completely unaware that they ever changed the 4.0 oil pan....

Yep, '93 and '94 use completely different gaskets. It looks like the gasket I have will work, though.
