 The only thing I've read about as a recommendation is to use a "non 
hardening"
gasket cement.  I have some stinky, purplish permatex that I use.  I've 
always sanded and used a film of grease on the block heater.  MAKE SURE 
to replace the oil gallery plugs if they've been removed.  A friend just did 
one and got less than 50 miles before it popped out so you might want 
to stake it a dab even.  I guess it's a really odd size too.
  My daughter has always liked the ghost flames until a car we saw in a  
local parade last year.  Now she has a decision to make on her 37.  They 
were wisps of flame like on a barely-burning, smokey fire. Looked real and 
REALLY cool  :)
