I always use the theory that if it didnt have sealant when new, and if the surfaces are still in good condition, then I put it on dry. Altho I do tend to use a little bit of sealant on corners...cam covers are a good example, just a little noggin in the corner of where it may go over say a cam carrier cap etc.
