Will I be able to tell if I have thrown a rod? I pulled the oil pan. Going to replace the oil pump? Any help would be great

That's fine. Use it. The 4.0 isn't fussy about oil. it is however, fussy about filters since it's mounted upside down or sideways. I only use Wix, Napa Gold, or Mopar.

Is there a reason why anyone would use cork gaskets vs the rubber gasket?
