Well, I was almost correct. The manual is a book titled "The Classic Outboard Motor Handbook". Page 91 shows a photo of a man brushing anti-sieze on a 1958 Johnson 10hp on the block where the head gasket mates to the block. The photo caption reads:" A gasket sealing lubricant is applied to the water jacket and cylinder assembly surfaces".
I always thought this was weird.
