OT IH Scout, steel gasket??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a '67 Scout with the 196 slant 4. I pulled the head due to crack and am in the process of putting it back together. The gaskets that came for it, marked IH on the box and are the same as the old ones, are stamped steel. The head gasket is composite, but the intake/exhaust gaskets are steel. When I put these on do I need to put a sealer around the intake ports and water jackets, or do I put them on bare?
I have never used shim type gaskets before and don't want to have intake leaks. Thanks.
