For a new elastomer or cork based gasket, that's true. For a new paper gasket it's not, but it's generally useless. For and old, hardened elastomer, cork or paper gasket it's not. Of course, you only lightly smear the gasket, as it has adapted to the mating faces already.

Danke Kay,

I will be getting the new gasket and a distributioncap tomorrow, and can rebuild the lot.

An update:
The leaking stopped a bit, but on holidays last weeks the leaking started again, the water spilled behind the alternator
I took off the radiator found this..

Is this a commen issue, and would anybody spare such a faceplate for me?

The pipe is a shortcut for the radiator

So I am heading to a swap. I'd appreciate any tips...
Or I could weld the old one with Duraweld but then the plate needs to come off also

Who has a later model plate lying around?

I had a leak in that back kinda area and found that I had not done the water pump bolts up tight enough. Some of the pump bolts go right through and hold plate to block (if memory serves me correctly).
Done those intermediate plates. It's a biggish job. I'd definitely try stop a leak products if you can't find cause. If you do intermediate plate removal, use really good quality gasket seal. I used a cheaper (red) one once and watched it pour out on start up!
Wrong . . . Do it again!
