Nah, there's no need. No water pressure under there. Just torque the bolts down good and use a good gasket. If you put a bunch 'a glue on it you will just ruin the gasket next time you pull it. (I guess I'm assuming your the stock flattie and not some hopped up facsimile of on)...slim

I apply a thin coating of chassis lube on both sides. Works for me.

No Glue, Chassis lube is fine.

Just my opinion,
