David, recommend using a cork gasket. Adhere the gasket to the pan and lightly rub a coat of grease the on the side facing the block. This will serve two purposes: 1) allow the gasket to slide on the block when installing the pan; and 2) will allow the gasket to stay on the pan when next the pan is removed, permitting easier removal. Only a small amount of adhesive is needed to cement the gasket to the pan. The problem with too much sealant is that it squeezes out and can get into the internals of the engine. This method is also recommended by O_D.
