I use Permatex High Tack on the block and on the block side of the cork gaskets and on the end seals. If installing with the engine in the car I put it on the block and gasket mating surface only and let it dry for a while. Then I place the side gaskets on first and then the ends over them if it's a three piece set. Letting it dry for a bit makes it act like contact cement and it will hold in place. Then I put dabs of silicone in the corners and a small bead on the end surfaces on top of the end seals, or if you are looking from the bottom, the bottom of the seals where they will mate with the pan. This material seems to work the same as the 3M method. I have done this method for years and never had a problem.
