Many different opinions on weather or not to soak the seals. I don't.
I brush off the excess powdery coating and put a thin smear of RTV on the groove of the timing cover and the groove of the pan to seat the rope seals in. Then I put a thin coating of grease on the surface of the seal that the crank shaft spins on and assemble.
