There is no gasket.
Use a quality sealant - NOT hylomar or the like. Don't use too much of it either.
3 bond 1215 grey is the best stuff.

It's sh1te!
Do the job once and do it right.
Using propiertry sealants on engine builds is asking for trouble....poor sealing, beads coming loose in the hot oil and collecting on the oil pipe pick up strainer etc.....
Hylomar is ok for sealing an old gasket that you cant be bothered to replace on a non critical application but for anything else it is asking for trouble.
