Bud: One thing to recognize with gaskets--most are designed to seal without additional sealants, and adding them can disrupt the mechanics of the sealed joint. While this is not as much a factor on older equipment, which tends to be of pretty robust construction, it still can be an issue. If you choose to use a sealant, be particularly careful not to overdo it--more is NOT better when it comes to gasket sealants! A THIN, EVEN film of a permatex-type sealant on both sides of the gasket may help in sealing the joint, but if you use too much you run the risk of causing more problems than you're solving. Too much sealant can leak into the pan and gunk up the engine. It can also cause "high spots" in the gasket, which serve as leak paths. The best way to create a leak-free joint is careful surface preparation followed by proper torque (and re-torque if necessary) procedures.
