You have to match mark everything. Put it together where you think things should be then scribe lines so that when you take it apart you can line them up separately. Then you can lay the gasket on the surfaces and use some bluing dye and a scribe to locate and trace the gasket opening on the two mating surfaces. Then widdle away.
Then when I do the final assembly, I always use a few drops of superglue to place the gasket and hold it in place so that it won't move as I'm bolting things together.
