I have a few of the Morini engines in my 'pile' and always marveled at the quality and how well designed they are,its a shame they were'nt used as a high performance platform..

It's down to personal preference on the base gaskets really.
The o rings should seal fine without anything. I will sometimes use a thin smear of red rubber grease to make them tacky so they don't fall out. I think Brent used a high tack sealant.

Thank you. Yeah I have the copper sealant that I’ll use on the base as I did with the Yamaha. Water seals, I have seen brent use what looks like red Grease? Is that conventional grease? Or does it have to be rubber grease as you say you use.
As you said I just want to use somthing to help them stay in place and also in my mind having a bit of slip would help them seat

I have always used rubber grease. Some types of grease will make the rings swell.

That's come out really nice. 👌
White wheels are a nightmare to keep clean. I had a GSXR with them. 🙈
