Note there are two widths of grooves for the sump gasket semicircular seal. The earlier ones had a narrow groove for a cork seal and the later ones a wider groove when Ford changed to use a rubber seal. I believe Lotus only ever used the narrow groove and cork seal on the twincam but many engines will have been modified and the later wide groove ones fitted. You need to ensure you have the right semicircular gasket that matches the it
