If your refering to the front snout portion of the supercharger there is no gasket. You could disassemble it and put a thin coat of rtv on it. When I took mine apart to service it this is what I did and have had no problems.

I take a hone stone lightly to both surfaces wipe clean the apply a tin coat of sealer. Retorque the face bolts and refill with oil.

I'm looking at my service manual and it doesn't call out the nose cone face plate bolt spec. I have always just brought them to snug and 1/8th of a turn more. Keep in mind that the housing is alum. and will strip easily.
I e-mailed my sponsor at MP and have asked him this very question I will post his response asap.

I will paste it in my notes. I'm sure it will come up again.
Working Saturdays?
I finally got me a job with most weekends off. Sure is hard to have a social life if you normaly work weekends.
Do you guys run that engine plant 24/7?
My Grandfather used to work for Henry Ford in the foundry back in the 40's. His job was to put on a fire suit and walk into the hearth on a beam and replace damaged fire brick. He only worked for a few minutes at a time and then had to come out to cool off.
My Father worked there to. He told me his job was to take axles out of a press and turn 1/4 turn to the left and reinsert them in another machine then take two more out and it was turn to the left 90 degrees. He did this for his whole shift and when he would go to the buss stop to go back home he would have trouble turning to the right sometimes.
My how times have changed. He swore his kids would never work in that factory and moved away before I was born.
He always drove a Ford though. Guess it's in my blood.

EZGZ,
Thanks for sharing that story with me! I love to look at the history of pictures on these walls.
My father retired from General motors I worked for Delphi as Lead engineer over Plt. 5 # 1 shift for 7 months then I got an offer from Ford and I have been with Ford for 6 years now.
My dad's job was to break down the block casting molds and put them in a shaker then they would stack them on pallets by hand. The old man was 6' 5" and about 280.
We have been pretty busy we make the 4.6 L that goes in the mustang GT, crown vic, and truck. We also make the Navigator, GT-40, Cobra, and rumor has it we will be making the new Lightning engine.

Thanks for the spec.
That would be great to actually make the lightning engine that you have in your truck. Assuming you can't resist getting the new one.
Kinda like the Chef eating his own food
Maybe you could sprinkle a little fairy dust on one particular special Lightnin engine hehehe
Have a great night!
