GS300L head gasket sealant?

[Kitten Tooth]

I am going to re-assemble my 1983 Suzuki GS300L D model engine tomorrow.. Do i need to use any type of gasket sealant on the upper or lower head gaskets? Or, do i just bolt it on at the specified torque and call it good?
I have the parts of the manual that i need, already printed off. ITS GONNA GET DONE I'm gonna start it while its sitting on a table in my shop class too, that should be pretty cool.

Thanks guys,
KT

No sealer goop on the gaskets.

Did you surface the gasket surfaces or at least verify they are properly flat? Hate to see you get leaks because the surface wasn't ready.

the gasket surfaces are all straight and clean. Ready for the put together i guess. i didn't do the machine work or the dissasembly but i watched so i could do it next time
Thanks man, thats all i needed to know.

Start putting it together there?
Or gonna start the engine on a table?
