I mostly agree with what the others have said, but will add. I use a THIN film of one of the silicone gasket makers or sealers on a lot of gaskets. It seals but doisn't stick too bad when you hve to take them off. I too have heard of and sometimes use grease. One impoetant thing with sheetmetal amd some castings is to check them for a flat true gasket surface. Oil pans,and valve covers seem to get overtightened and sprung out of true. Some carefull work with a hammer and an anvil or some such can straighten them out most of the time. Then don't tighten them enough to spring them again.
