Use a water pump gasket, that is, don't make your own.  The thickness is
critical.  Too thick the pump won't work, too thin the impeller may hit
the block or the pump won't work.

Clean all surfaces very thouroughly.  Lightly go over them with 80 grit
sandpaper.  Apply a thin, even coat of Permatex #2 and tighten the bolts
evenly in 3 or 4 steps to make sure the pressure is even.  That should
do it.
