i usually put the rubber gasket in as normal on the bottom bit, just make sure its pushed into the gaps tightly. then i rub oil over all the top to ensure a good seal. never had any problems with any of the work ive done

Factory put on a sealant plus the gasket, but would recommend putting a sealant on rather than dry.

Otherwise oil might start leaking out and its a bugger if it does as it can drip down the back of the head.
