F;

On the (early) engines you want to seal the block & main cap side ONLY.

Then you put 'hi-temp' grease on the pan side. This way you can R & R several times W/O replacing the gaskets. It holds the long pieces in place too; as they go on first.

The (later) may be different as Walt said.

Good luck. \:\)
