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.

Dry. And don't forget to replace the aluminum crush washer under the bolt head.

And don’t forget the super low torque. Something like 8lbs. Someone will jump in with exact or check your Haynes book.

Its good to have several ranges of TQ wrenches in the drawer. Dig thru pawn shops to find some hidden gems is smaller ranges.

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.
