Cleaned out the strainer and ready to install the two new large paper gaskets. My question is whether I should install them dry, or should I put a thin smear of engine oil on them first.

If i bought a torque wrench from a pawn shop, Id have it calibrated before using it. They don't like being dropped. They should also be kept in the case and returned to 0 when stored. I attended a calibration class as part of my Air Force jet mechanic tech school. We did a lot of test on them. You would not believe how much one can change when dropped on it's head on concrete from 4 feet.
