I'm getting ready to change out the Oil Pan Gasket on my TO30. Will I need something to coat the cork gasket with to make sure the seal is tight? I already have the gasket, but wanted to make sure I put it on right. Thanks in advance for the help.

Nothing is needed to aid the cork gasket to seal. The silicone gasket maker is that, it works well for assembling when no gasket is available. It tends to make a cork gasket slide away from pressure though. I rebuilt a 1932 Chevrolet in 1982 without using any of the silicone stuff, and don't have any leaks or seepage yet. I soaked the gaskets in water like B said,the NOS gaskets were really shrunk, used thread to tie them in place and assembled the engine. A flat, clean surface is the best thing for making sure gaskets seal. If you feel more comfortable using a sealant, try gasket shellac, it drys fast and seals tight.

I always use a little sillycone on the gasket, but I also use small pieces of string to tie the gasket onto the pan. When I get all the bolts started and very loose, I then cut the pieces of string and pull them off. The gasket is then in place. Simply tighten down the bolts. A simple trick and it works very well

Hi. This is a job that you only want to do once! Initially lay the gasket on the oil pan and check to see that all of the holes etc line up, if they don't soak the gasket in warm water for about 5 minutes and check for alignment again... If still too small continue soaking until gasket is the right size (cork gaskets tend to shrink as they dry out/get old). When the gasket is the right size wipe off excess water (take care not to break gasket) and apply a little bearing grease to the gasket to keep it from slipping off when you lift the oil pan into place. Tighten all bolts equally, Do Not overtighten. Have Fun!
