Default Timing Cover Gasket

For those who use Felpro gaskets, which set did you use?

The reason I am asking is that Felpro has three different gasket sets available, and I am not sure what to get. There is a five piece set, a six piece set that includes something called a sleeve N seal, and a one piece gasket.

Default re:

5 piece includes
Cover..3 gaskets
Water pump..2 gaskets
6 piece set includes all the same, but comes with a sleeve and glue for the harmonic balance.
I use the 5 piece set.

If your balancer has worn a groove, get the sleeve. There is a seal that has the lip either more to the front or more to the rear, I don't remember. It moves the lip seal out of the groove. I have shimed the entire seal out a little, but I don't think that is the best way to do it. Only in a pinch.
