<VV> Oil pan gasket

Oil pan drain bolt was really torqued down.  Pan bolts weren't tight, but
the pan holes are all dimpled in, towards the block.  Got a decent leak
around the cam gear.  The block to bell housing gasket was not trimmed off,
and it cut into the cork oil pan gasket.
 
#1 I'm gonna trim the crankcase to bell housing gasket flush.
 
#2 I plan on pinging the oil pan holes from the inside, back out, as close
to flush as I can get - even can use a level if it will help.  If measured,
I'm sure it would be 1/16" or so.
 
#3 I've only got a rubber gasket to replace the cork.  That okay?  I seem to
remember the cork is okay for stock oil pan, but the rubber/paper is best
for aluminum.  Okay to put rubber on stock steel, or not?
