I use Permatex Number 3 on the gasket and I coat it on the studs as well to prevent leaks and to prevent corrosion.
It will still come apart in 10 or 20 years without breaking the housing.
I use #3 on the threads but replace the studs with bolts. Any corrosion that develops in between the housing and the bolt will go when the bolt is unscrewed.
(one reason why most outboard motors use SS bolts, but not studs).
