Gene,
If the surfaces are not terribly pitted or irregular, don't use Permatex.
It's a bitch to get apart the next time and hell to clean. I always used a
paper gasket with graphite anti-sieze compound (made by Permatex, but not
their glue!). I never had it leak and I could get it apart the next time
and even use the old gasket again.
