Most people I know don't use the white rope pieces. There are other options such as a 1 piece seal which usually involves modifying the front pulley. There are professional engine builders on this site that can give you the lowdown on getting the best chance for no leaks. There are new composite seals that can be used that give you a much better chance of a good outcome. The last one I did with composite pieces I think came from the Best gasket company. I'm sure someone that has done one more recent than me will chime in. Don't be in a hurry here.
Good luck.
