If I put a gasket in there, it would throw valve settings off, but would I get better sealing? The 987 engine is the later design, so you assume other Mercedes design improvement

the 110 engine liked to leak oil there. the gasket was to fix this problem.
use it if you have big oil leaks or are taking the cam housing off.
the metal gasket has a glue on it already although i still sprayed it with a copper sealer. won't effect the timing or much of anything else.
don't worry about it. do make sure that all surfaces are very clean though.
