Timing gear gasket / created a problem ???

I just replaced the timing cover gasket / after takeing the timing cover off to paint it & inspect the timing gears / with a great looking one from Walcks{ was about 3 to 4 times as thick as the original which was paper type material } ! But when i put the cover back on ! now the pulley hits the cover {before reaching 40 ft. lbs. torque}   I either can pull the cover off & remove this wonderful gasket & use a thin coat of silicone gasket maker or shim the pulley out to clear the cover ???? If I shim it it will match the water pump pulley great !
   Suggestions appreciated ????
  I have some shim makeing material but would probably have to use a hole saw to cut out the center as I think the material is too thick to punch out with the hole punches I have ?
     Thanks in advance for any help !
I LOVE MY WILLYS !

Hi,

I did replace mine also with one ordered from Walck's and I did'nt have any problem. My original gasket was paper type also. The one from Walck's is made of cork and is less then 1/8 inch thick.

Make sure that your crankshaft oil seal is in properly.
I have a double pulley.

Here is a picture I have. I will try to take one from the side.

Thanks for the reply! 
  I cut some shims and shimmed it out yesterday  Smiley
   I replaced my old pulley with a new one from Walcks / the shims made for a great fit !
