The 1959 Maintenance Manual & Instruction Book (for the Jubilee)states; " Fit the crankcase joint washer by sticking it to the timing side joint face" . Original full engine gasket sets did include a crankcase gasket.
So if you do not fit a crankcase gasket watch out that you do not pinch the main bearings - as Andrew has just said.

I put on some silikon and joined the the cases. So far no leak, but there is no oil in the engine, haha!
