Be sure to straighten the flange before reassembly.  Not hard.  Just put
some wood under it section by section and hammer in flat again from the
top side (Gasket side).  Especiall around the bolt holes.  Many leaky
pans result from reassembly of bent pans.  Not amount of gasket cement
and tightening will seal properly if the flange is wavey.
