Location: Omaha, NE		Is there a gasket between the oil pump and block? My gasket kit doesn't have one, and I don't remember if one was there when I took the engine apart.

RTV of any kind inside the engine, especially at the oil pump, IMHO is a bad idea.

If the mating surface leaks a little, so what? It ain't going anywhere but back to the sump.

This subject has been argued many times before, it seems that some did have a circular gasket but only if the pump/cap had a shallow bore for the gasket.
