Installing new motor gaskets in CB550k

[Derwood]

I'm new to this and am curious as to what to do (or maybe not do) with my new gaskets prior to installing them. I have seen/heard that some folks prefer to coat the gaskets with some sort of anti seize and some folks suggest to not do anything.
I can see the benefit of the anti seize, maybe?, after working SO hard to remove the old gaskets without hurting the aluminum.

Please pass on your suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

as far as I know,all of the gaskets are meant to be used dry and clean all surfaces
that said on something like the clutch case cover I will use an adhesive on the cover side so that when in future servicing the clutch there is at least the chance the gasket may be re-used by staying in one piece with the cover
for this I personally prefer loctite 518 in a very,very thin even layer.. it is anerobic and anything that squeezes out will not foul passages
head gasket for sure do not muck it up with anything
