How do you install an oil pan gasket so that it does not leak?

I'm installing a new OEM acura oil pan and using a new OEM gasket. I'm going to use Permatex Sealant #2 (black color) instead of honda bond.

1. Do you put honda bond / sealant on both sides of the gasket? Or just apply it on top of the oil pan surface and then place the gasket on top of the oil pan?
2. Do you put honda bond / sealant all the way around the entire oil pan surface or only at the corners?
3. Will torquing it to 9 lb/ft cause the gasket to push out pass the oil pan lip?

I'm going to tighten the bolts according to the helm manual cross pattern.

 

ya just got around the seal with the sealer. make sure you scrape off all the old **** from the block, *** long as you follow the torque sequence its works out fine. just take the sealer around the hole thing, not to much though

I use the permatex grey, comprable to hondabond for 1/3 the price.

you don't need any sealer because it gives you a rubber gasket. Just start tightening bolts in a circle. Thats it
