I'm putting together a 400 block with a friend of mine and when we got to the oil pump we couldn't find a gasket in my gasket set(for between the pump and the rear main cap). Do chevy's not use one? He said that most other motors do, and I just wanted to check before we kept going forward.

Some of the rebuild books suggest a non-hardening sealer like Permatex no. 2. on the mating surfaces. Not sure if it is necessary.
