You shouldn't have to give the gaskets any coating. If you get the Fel-pro ones they are designed so seal with no silicone.,also it makes the gaskets tend to "slide out" when you torque them. Also i never use silicone on the bolts. GM has always used a Teflon sealer like the plumbers white stuff to seal the bolt threads.
