On my car Permatex non hardening sealant #2? was used on both surfaces. Be
sure the surfaces are clean of all previous gasket material. Then it was
tightened from the center out for a total of about 4-5 passes. Overkill to
tighten that slowly but it does not leak.

Oil pans and gaskets are interchangeable between the 1600 and 2000. Notee
that, on the pan, there is a raised ridge on the mating edge. If you
overtighten the bolts, that ridge will crush the cork gasket and create
leaks. I used Permatex RTV on the last one I installed.?

Since none of my torque wrenches can be relied upon at 3.5 foot-pounds, I
just tighten the bolts with my hand around the head of the rachet so I
cannot put too much torque on things, and make sure I just compress the lock
washers -- no more. With the RTV in there, you don't need much. Let the
RTV cure before you fire up the motor.?
