IMO the two "gaskets" to worry about are the water intake port and the gear oil resorvoir port, I put a small "dab" of bellows adhesive in the ring bore just to hold the gaskets in place and a light coat of gear oil or similar on the mating surface. There is nothing worse then getting the upper and lower together and finding out a gasket has fallen out or not seated correctly....
Also, double check the shift linkage has engaged before tightening everything down....:coolcowboy:

I prefer oil on o-rings. Don't have to worry about the adhesive effecting the o-rings abilty to seal.

I second what Fogducker said.. just enough to hold them in place.
