Pretty much what I did when I got it right and it didn't leak.
HOWEVER, I had a particularly bad outcome when I tried it with the
expensive silicone gaskets that look like red neoprene. They moved
around too much when I snugged them down and leaked. I suggest the cork
gaskets with the appropriate goo on both surfaces. I used the red high
temperature Permatex with excellent results, which also makes them
removable and reusable, if that matters.
