Technically, paper gaskets are supposed to go on dry. Using something to
hold (tack) the gasket in place is very helpfull. I'm personally a fan of
Hylomar or Gaskacinch (sp)I should know how to spell that.. Got the girl
tattooed on my arm!
Hylomar is so easy to work with I've been known to use a VERY thin layer on
the gasket surface. Gaskachinch I just use to tack the gasket.

In a few days I will be replacing my front engine seal due to a small
leak, and have a general question concerning the use of gasket sealer on
the timing cover gasket. Should I use something like Permatex on this
gasket? I asked one mechanic, and he recommended just using a little
motor oil, but I wanted to get the general consensus from the list.
Thanks,
Brian
