That's exactly the way I did it.
I worked it down against the impellar all the way around and then added the gasket. That should make it nice and tight. I will be starting my brand new engine tonight. It is totally different though, so I will not have good comparison results. The old motor was a 62 headed 400, around 400 hp. This is a KRE headed 461 with a good size roller, around 600 hp. I am about to die sitting here at work waiting on tonight. I feel like a high school kid waiting on a date with the prom queen.
