I use Permatex aviation form-a-gasket on both sides of those paper gaskets
and never have experienced any problems.

Subject: [TR] Proper gasket installation
What is the proper/recommended procedure for installing various gaskets? In
particular, I'm reinstalling my thermostat cover and water pump. These
gaskets are like thin kraft paper, and obviously are contact with
water/coolant. The other gasket I'm installing is the timing chain cover
gasket. This is a much thicker, heavy black material, and of course
contacts oil. Should they have any kind of dressing? If so, what kind?
Applied to both sides?
Thanks!
