Due to the fact they even cracked in the first place, I'd venture to say they are infact not hard enough to support the gaskets but for a very precise margin of error and if you miss this margin you are out of luck.

I don't see the opint of using adhesive when the bolts should be holding them in place.

The whole mess of glue and green goop seems counter-productive.
Yes Nik, there is no need for gaskets and adhesive. The surfaces are smooth enough to not need the gaskets, just a smear of Rolls Royce jointing compound on each side of the Spacer should be all that is needed.
