I think just a gasket cement on one side to hold should be plenty. Make sure the cover is flat around the holes so it gets good equal pressure between--just like the oil pan. Maybe not necessary, but I think I would moisten the cork with oil so it doesn't spin dry on start up. There was also an arbor that fit over the crank to help in centering the cover with use of a feeler ga. I think that was fairly important so the seal was not subject to off center wear. I would at least eyeball to center the crank in opening as much as possible.
