Using 2 alloy base gaskets is fine. You probably don't need the filler but a very fine smear on each as you fit them will make extra sure. Don't worry about trying to stick one to the other, the important thing is to get them both on whilst the sealant is still wet so that it forms a decent seal when compressed.

Lam-d,

I didn't know that you knocked about with those reprobates! ;)

Good luck with the rebuild.
