I usually don't like gasket cements. But on mine i permatexed the gaskets to the ENGINE and RTV on the pan. That will facilitateez removal without gasket damage. Mine has been R&R at least 15 times over the last 20K miles and 8 years or more. Just did it the other day and a timing chain too. NO PROBLEMS. IT doesnt leak a drop.
Exactamundo, PackardV8. The Permatex (#2 ONLY--non-hardening BTW) holds the gasket in place and gives you time to line everything up. Often on a gasket for a low-pressure seal, like on a "pumpkin" cover, the recommendation is to use the Permatex on only one side, though, at least the last one I replaced was thus, and no cement on the cover side. I think it depends mostly on which side you'd rather remove the gasket from later. But, then again, I'M NOT AN EXPERT!
