Done this and it works well, the only downside is the setup time for machining. Until we discovered even this wasn't necessary.

We stopped using gaskets on the drift cars a couple of years ago, and stopped having problems too. No paste either. Just flat mating faces, and most importantly, black cap screws in place of studs - less stretch.
