I've currently got the timing belt off and am replacing seals. The auxillary shaft seal was in deep and I couldn't extract it, so I removed the seal housing. Two questions:

1.Haynes says to fit gaskets dry unless otherwise stated - should I fit the new seal housing gasket dry? (I always used to use vaseline)
2.Some small fragments of gasket have fallen into the front of the sump - is this a problem?
3. What's the best way to hold the camshaft sprocket while tightening?

Thanks in advance for your opinions. Regards.
