[xj] S-1 gasket installation

List:

Do I use anything along with the gasket when installing the oil filter
base on the block?

I’ve cleaned the metal on the base and will use a new gasket. I’ve
cleaned the metal on the block. Do I use oil on the gasket before
installing, or a “form-a-gasket” material along with the gasket, or just
install it dry?

Lou

Lou,
Although my preference is just to have the surfaces surgically clean
and use the gasket, I have on select occasions used aviation sealer on thin
paper gaskets.

Permatex makes a version of the stuff…it’s in a little squat container
with a brush…nasty brown sticky stuff!

YMMV,
