LOL..that's been a debate for years. I have always used a gasket with a very light coating of RTV on both sides. That usually worked for me until the last time I assembled my 9". It developed a slow drip from the gasket. Almost like it was weeping through the paper. I'm just getting ready to install my new center section and I think I am going to try it just with RTV this time. Also be sure and use the copper washers on the studs. They help keep any fluid from leaking past the threads.
