    I normally do not use a sealer on the cylinder head gasket but yours looks a little sketchy so I would use some on that one.  The exhaust cover gasket should use a sealer.  You should not use a sealer on the intake manifold and reed plate gaskets as you do not want to have any excess sealer gumming up the intake.   BRP gasket sealer or Permatex Aviation sealer #3 are good choices.
