Okay, I missed that. So the Bentley shows 2, the parts book shows 1, and 
I'm saying 0. I guess you can take your pick.

When I've assembled engines, I've found that 2 gaskets put the breather 
stand too high, and I don't remember any gaskets on the new engines I've 
disassembled. It should not be hard to get that joint to seal with no gaskets, 
since both faces are nicely machined flat surfaces, even if the louver plate 
has no ridges.
