<<Question, as for shaft seals...Are they installed dry or is it nessessary to put a tad of sealant (or oil) around the OUTER surface?
I know about oiling the innner diameter upon installation..>>
I always grease the outer surface of the seals.
<<Which is the bestway to install gaskets? Light coating of grease on both sides of gasket or should I use any sealant?>>
My preference would be to use grease if the joint surfaces are OK.
