Nope, dry. No need for sealer.

You'll hate yourself later if you use a sealer. There are better and worse gaskets for getting a good seal. The thick silicon gaskets are good as are the green gaskets with a silicon bead around them. The gray gaskets can work but are more likely to leak if your valve covers are warped at all.
