If it isn't too late-
No gasket, just the o-ring as mentioned above. You can remove it and clean it down too, just wipe it down. But when you install, I'd suggest tightening it down in a criss-cross pattern or so. Tightening it down in 2-3 steps will help ensure it's seated squarely and evenly. And it doesn't take much, so don't over torque it. A 1/4" drive socket will be your friend.
