Like you said, once you get them bolted up the gaskets can't go anywhere.

I did coat both sides but, to be honest I think my contact cement was bad or was going bad. It had turned a dark gray color. It didn't want to stick to the gaskets very well. Or maybe I needed to clean the gaskets with a solvent before attempting to glue them.
