I'm getting set to do the VC gaskets in my '02 4.4. The DIY on this site says to lube the gasket with glycerine prior to fitting it.

Does anybody know if this is necessary, and serves any purpose other than making the gasket slippery as all hell?

BTW I bought VR gaskets, so we'll see how that goes
