A pal of mine is in the process of replacing the left side engine cover and gasket as a result of a fall.

Should the gasket be mated to the cover and engine case with a thin layer of Permatex type gasket material that comes out of a tube (like tooth paste), or should the gasket be merely installed by itself?

 
I'm old school. I glue the gasket to the cover with Gasgacinch and a thin film of grease on the engine side. Seals great and comes off easy if needed.
