Gasket sealer on intake gaskets, Do or Don't?...

Getting ready to put the intakes back on a 3.2. Did some searching and can't find anything on do or don't for gasket sealer. If I need gasket sealer, what kind do I need? Thanks to all.

I never use any kind of sealant on gaskets. They have a graphite coating on them already. Never, ever use silicone on these or any other engine for that matter.

There shouldnt have been any sealer on there when you took them off.

Wasn't thinking of silicone, was more on a gasket spray. I won't use anything thanks.
Bruce, I didn't find any previous sealer. I did find 3 gaskets #2, don't know if that would make a big difference.
