Most modern head gaskets are installed dry, without any sealant, the reason for this is because of expansion and contraction, especially in Aluminum head/ cast iron block combinations, any heat expansion/ contraction would break the seal, with cast/ cast applications, sealent creates a better seal for a short period of time. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
