Can use zip ties to hold the gasket or some rtv. But usually the gasket will come off before you get it to where it needs to be with rtv. Wouldn't hurt to put some in the corners and on the curved parts of the gasket. Don't use to much because the oil moving around in the pan can break loose any that oozed into the crankcase. Then it will find it's way into the pick up screen. The magnums are a lot easier than the LA's. They had two rubber curved pieces and two cork gaskets along the side of the pan.
