1997 mercruiser 3.0LX valve cover gasket

[CPro]

Just a quick question...I bought a new cork gasket online (the old rubber one was leaking oil). Do I need to apply any sealant or can I just put the rubber gasket in place and torque the bolts to compress it?

Thanks in advance. This is an excellent forum, I always appreciate the advice I get on here.

Thanks,
Trev

Thanks - do I need to use any adhesives or additional sealants for the gasket to be effective?

Thanks,
