is the gasket neccessary or will silicone suffice?i can always make one too.thanks

Use a gasket. The surface and consequent gluing effect will make it a PITA to get off again if you need too. Nothing wrong with a homemade gasket for this application if you use the right material, which you'd probably get at an engineering or auto part outlet ... although I wouldn't think the genuine would be a lot of $.

Gasket costs less than a tube of silicone.

Just buy the gasket, not worth doing twice.
