I use a little sealer on one side and anti-seize on the other because I like to reuse them a few times when removing the jugs for decarboning the rings, etc.. But let your preference dictate.

What ever sealant/compound you decided on keep it WELL away from the oil injection hole that leads to the intake port. I have a bottom end that the PO clogged the hole with RTV. It had a rod break and smash the case! :o :o

anti-seize both sides, actually acts as a sealer, but gaskets peel right off. As was posted, don't fill the oil hole. Thin layer rubber in, is all you need.
