For many parts you don't need a gasket, you can use just RTV for a leak-proof seal. But RTV is over easy to misuse, so follow the directions to the letter. Engine failure has resulted from improper RTV application.

[edit]

Overview

Instead of a gasket, use RTV silicone sealer "gasket maker". Just be careful not to use too much and to follow the directions (e.g. let it partially set up before assembly)

CAUTION: Do not use on the oil pump
