I must disagree with Kees:
Soaking the gasket in water for a few minutes prior to installation makes
it more flexible and--especially in the case of the third member
gasket--much less susceptible to tearing during installation. Normal oil
seepage takes care of corrosion.
And though not necessary a bit of RTV never hurts.
