Default putting the batwing back on the rear end

Finally have a rebuilt rear end and batwing cleaned and bushed, so to speak. As far as putting them back together, any tribal knowledge as far as the gasket - sealant, no sealant, grease to keep it place, blood sacrifice to the auto gods, whatever. Thanks,

Don't bother with a gasket its more of a hassle then its worth, use a good gasket sealant like - The Right Stuff . Also drill and tap a hole for a drain plug while its out so you wont need to remove again.
