That depends entirely on the type of gasket. The only dressing that's safe to use in all cases is Hylomar's "free" dressing. If you know for sure that the gasket has no dressings already on it you may use Permatex copper gasket dressing or Hylomar blue or aerosol gasket dressing. The OEM composite HG is not coated, but aftermarket gaskets may be. Personally, I think you can get away with dressings on just about any HG as long as you only put on a thin coat, do it in a couple layers and give each layer a couple minutes for the solvents to escape.
