i put some oil on the oring and put it on the ring bore

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....

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

silglyde works well.

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