Valve Cover Gasket Replacement?

I have an '85 4x4 Toyota Pickup, with a 22r engine and I need to
replace the valve cover gasket. I'm wondering if i should use gasket
sealer when i install the new gasket or is that unnecessary? If i do
need it, what sealant should i use?

Thanks,
Anders

DO NOT USE ANY SEALANT. The tolerances are spec'd for the gasket alone>
There is no extra space
