loctite & probably others, make anaerobic sealers which work really well.
you don't even need the gasket. ducati specify it for some cylinder base
joints.
good thing is, excess squeezed off inside your engine stays liquid, not
hardening up in your oilways with tragic results.

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.
