Subject:Oil pump sealing questions...

Hi, I'm putting together my first 1.9 engine and have a few questions.

a>There are two oil pump gaskets in my gasket kit.  Bentley shows only
one on page 17.7.  Do I put one gasket between the block and oil pump
housing and the other between the oil pump housing and the oil pump
cover?  What kind of sealant is best to use here?

b>Bentley says to use new SEALING NUTS on the oil pump.  It this what
most people do?  Or can you just re-seal them with RTV or similar?
