Default intake manifold gasket install ?

Hey guys just a quick question. Does anyone use a small dose of sealant when installing new intake manifold gaskets? Just wanna make sure there it won't leak. Thanks guys.

I would think an RTV sealant that is gas resistant would work just fine. After all that area just gets a misting of fuel

No need for RTV on intake gaskets.
