Rover 3.9 Oil Pan Sealing

[Glenn <g_wakefield@yahoo.com>]

I'm pulling the engine this weekend to replace the oil
pan gasket to try to fix a couple of the small oil
leaks.  I haven't had much luck getting a good seal
when replacing the pan with the engine in the car.  I
also want to take a good look at my clutch, so an
engine pull is called for.

What is the current thinking on the best way to get a
good seal on a 3.9 oil pan? Use the cork gasket dry? 
Cork gasket with permatex?  Permatex only?  I have
read that some of the newer Rovers only have Permatex
gaskets.

Thanks!
