There are several points to consider:
- the gasket is not flat
- it has more than 1 color
- it is 2mm thick
- brinks are ragged
Attempt 1
If you scan the gasket with a scanner, this is how it looks like:

There are some shades on the left side of the cylinder-area.
Attempt 2
Scanning the gasket without a cover:

Shades are gone, the rest is too dark to trace.
Attempt 3
If you put the gasket on a white paper ind the sun, and take a picture with a camera, this is what you get:

Attempt 4
Taking the picture in a cloudy weather

In both cases the little shade is bad for tracing the image
The soluton:
Tape the seal on a white paper and tape that paper (with the part) on a window. Take a picture.

This dows the trick.
Tracing the part with 4-Scan is easy:


Use the blur filter in 4-Scan to flatten the curve:
