I believe that if a gasket is employed, then the need for gasket seal in a tube is gone, however, your gasket should be torqued to manufacturer's specifications. Yet, it doesn't hurt to have both.
no gasket sealant needed. Just original gasket is fine.
You do not need to add a sealant to the gasket. Just make sure you torque the bolts to factory specs.
no u dont need to use sealant u should get a gasket
If both surfaces are clean and flat and you are using a new gasket, no sealant is necessary.
No, only a dab where a seam may meet.
You need the sealant on the ends where the supplied gaskets don't cover fully.
no the gasket should be rubber and should be bendable all you do is install it in the correct position and tighten the bolts in the right sequence
Thermostats in most vehicles have seals and gaskets that are designed so you do not need any aditional sealant.
its a very good idea
Yes it does.
First raise your cars front-end and securely it. Unplug and drain your oil out of the pan. Than just remove the bolts holding that pan in and sometimes you need to just a rubber mallet just gently knock the pan off ,for the gasket stick to it after awhile. And remember to clean off the old gasket off the pan and engine and replace. (NOTE- I am not sure if your suppose to just a sealant on the gasket or not,sorry)
