    Cylinder base Gasket - oil before installation?

    Considering how hard it was to get the last one off and reading on there that folks sometimes oil their head gaskets to facilitate easier removal, what about oiling the base gasket? Part 2 if oiling base or head, does soaking them overnight a good idea? Is more better?

    Talk me into replacing the base gasket....
