Default Cosworth sump gasket advice

I have been searching but I still can't find a definate answer on how to successfully do these. I have a 200 block with 2WD sump, bother surfaces are clean and I'll be using a cometic gasket with genuine half moons, can someone give me their advice on doing these based on previous experience, do I sealed? Should I locktite the bolts when doing?
