You really don't need any dressing on the head and manifold gaskets.
Occasionally, when there are sealing problems with the head gasket, you
can use something like a copper "dressing", but if you put something like
hylomar on the head gasket, you'll have TONS of trouble seperating the
head from the block later on.
Install the head and manifold gasket D-R-Y.
