Yeah I just can’t figure out that string.

Found waxed cotton twine in mine also, but it surely can't be there as a "gasket" as the whole thing is floating or submerged in motor oil.
Why "gasket" one side only?
All I could think of was "anti-rattle" to keep 2 pieces of tin tight against each other.

It's not listed in the parts manual.
I took mine out and didn't replace it (making sure the cover fits tight).
With 3 tabs it's not going to come off by itself.

Don't need more loose crud floating around the oil system than necessary.

I took mine apart also.  I wasn't satisfied with rinsing/soaking as there was junk inside.  That's really interesting about your gasket find.  Mine looked just like twine.  It crumbled when I tried to pull it out.  I wasn't sure what it was made of so I painstakingly cut out a thin cork gasket - hoping it would hold up.  Never thought of taking photos during that project.

Took this apart though it was rinsed really well in the solvent tank.  Including photo.  There also seems to be a cotton string gasket wedged into the flange.
