So the cam chain tensioner gasket that came with my bbk came out of the box torn, I have a roll of fel pro Karropak laying around, would that be a decent substitute or is there another gasket material advanced Auto or AutoZone would carry that I can use with the template from the template section to make it work without waiting 3-5 days for a replacement gasket from the seller?

The Karropak should work.

yeah that gasket isn't crucial, heck even a playing card would work, or you could always use rvt

Cheerios and Saltines make some good gasket material. They also include some cereal and crackers inside the gasket.
The tensioner is not picky about the thickness as it will adjust automatically to compensate for thickness.
I would not use a plastic playing card, but other material should be fine. There is splash, but little pressure on the oil it is expected to contain, so it is not critical.
