Do you guys recommend any type gasket sealant/adhesive on the unloader gasket?

No. Installed dry. Same with the head gasket.

Okay, this saga is behind me. The gasket that came in the kit I ordered is really nice and better than than the original paper only gasket in my opinion. Also installed the 175psi secondary relief valve. Removing the original relief valve was a royal pain in the a$$. Whoever installed it buried the threads in the dryer and the wrench flats are outboard of the vent holes which significantly weaken the body of the valve causing it to snap off. Eventually managed to remove it by driving a screw extractor into it and clamping a vice grip on the out side of the barrel. Applying force to both broke it free.
