I use Permatex 85420.

Lots of folks use heavy grease.

This topic has been discussed repeatedly over the years if you just do a little searching.

(fixed Permatex #)

Whatever I have lying around.... Seriously, just thick grease put on as thin as I can squeeze between my fingertips with the gasket in the middle. Just saturating the gasket with enough to hold it in place.

Grease if the surfaces are in good shape, Motoseal if in doubt.
