 Just to prevent sucking air at the joint, is why I would figure using
sealer. TEST FITTING is an excellent idea! You should be able to screw
the pick-up in by hand, to within a quarter turn. That last quarter
should be with a pipe wrench, and only once or twice. Too many test
fittings will loosen the seal between the two threads. You need to verify
the pick-up screen is parallel with the block rails, and the pan will fit
on too! I would try to fit the pick-up screen and pan without a gasket,
and JUST touch each other. Installing a gasket or windage tray at final
assembly will give you the clearance you need.  You probably knew that
already, but just in case, don't forget.    Tom in Dallas    again
