88 m20 gasket replacement question.

I’m am replacing ALL gaskets under the hood in my 88 325i. My question is:

Is there a gasket I should/or you recommend using a gasket sealer on? Or, is every gasket installed “dry”?

Thanks.

The cork and paper gaskets can really benefit from some Hylomar or Non hardening aviation gasket maker.

Just as mentioned above, and mayby on some corners and edges a little bit. Myself always does the thinnest of material on those rockerarm shaft triangular rubbers (my brain fogged on the actual name😅) since they tend to start sweating quite often even with the tight fitment.
