At three points on my '86 WBX there are 
metal-to-metal cooling system joints--

At a little 7mm fitting off cylinder #2,
and two for the big pipe that runs under
the crankshaft pulley.  Bently shows an
o-ring on these, but mine has paper gaskets.

I'm renewing all this stuff (putting in new engine).  
Should I use any sort of gasket compound, or just 
the paper gaskets in the dry?  The fittings are very 
clean and in good shape.

Thanks,

Steve
