Do you need glue on gaskets?

There are many types of gasket sealant available, just the same as gasket materials, each for different applications.

Should I put silicone on a gasket?

NEVER use silicone on both sides of the gasket, the gasket will slip and slide all over the place instead of staying put and clamping down. Another substitute for the high tack is Copper Coat (in the copper spray can). This works really well for head gaskets since it's a light film.

Does super glue work below freezing?
