Just replaced the riser gasket

Just replaced the riser gaskets today on my 1985 Trophy that has a Chev 5.0/305cid engine. My question is am I supposed to use some Permatex or other hi-temp gasket sealer on those gaskets or can they just be put on plain (That's what I did)? Both the manifold and riser faces were polished clean and checked level. Thanks!
