Yeah too much information can sometimes make things more difficult

The graphite gaskets can be installed dry no problem. I'm not a big fan of 574 on top of gaskets because it hardens and can make gasket removal a pain to clean up the next time disassembly is done. Often times people do this to help seal any imperfections on the sealing surfaces, which is perfectly understandable. I like to use a non hardening sealant like Curil T in that case.
