Oil pan new gasket install?

[71scamp78]

Ok putting a new oil pan gasket on my 440 in car. Has stock pan and I'm using a cork gasket it's what I have on hand. Any good pointers for no leaks when done. I have some good Grey gasket maker was going to put some on each side that stuff is pretty good. Or may just put some on one side or none at all. I also have some weather strip stuff I've used to hold gaskets. What's the torque specs I'm sure not much. I won't be able to torque all bolts correct due to room constraints. Look forward to imput.

Use contact cement and glue it to the pan. the other side should be dry. Using a gasket maker on them will make them squash and squeeze out by making them slick.

Make sure the pan is flat, make sure the bolt holes on the pan have not raised up from being previously used. If they are raised, you will need to tap them flat with the surface of the pan with a hammer.
Use sealant on the joints and bolt holes at the rear main seal holder and the front timing case joints where it meets the block.

You're supposed to let the gasket maker "set off " before you tighten up the parts. This prevents slippage and makes for a better compression seal.
The stuff I use recommends hand tightening first, letting the joint cure for 60 mins then tighten to spec. This varies a little depending on temperature..
