Default Valve cover gasket sealer...?
I noticed in the PET they show a sealer listed on the valve cover page part # 000.043.300.86.

Is it recomended using a sealer compound on the gaskets or just clean the surfaces really well and run them dry ?

I have always run mine dry - makes it much easier the next time, and no leaks either way.
