A friend and I are having a dispute over building the engine for my Monza right now. He says a gasket or sealant is required between the block and oil filter mount. I say it doesn't. My reasoning is I have torn apart and built several engines that never had, or used, anything between the two.

What do you do?

NO all sealing is done by the oil filter seal no other seal is needed
