If you can get a gasket, smear a THIN layer of black goo on one side of the gasket and let it fully cure.
Then put a THIN smear on the opposite side and allow it to cure until tacky.
Assemble the two parts finger tight and allow an extra hour or so to fully cure and then torque up the bolts.
This makes a great seal, yet allows the parts to be disassembled without wrecking the gasket.

If you run without a gasket, coat both surfaces evenly and allow to 3/4 cure.
Assemble the parts finger tight and allow full cure, then torque to specs.
This creates a good even seal and will come apart with ease, possibly with the black goo "Gasket" in one piece.
