M42 Head Gasket and Timing Question

[jbgood]

I am in the process of putting the M42 from my '91 318i convertible back together. It was about time for a timing refresh when the head gasket went and demanded attention.
I have refreshed, refurbished and resealed countless things along the way, now I am about to put the cylinder head back on the block. I have been reading obsessively and taking lots of pictures; I plan to add my observations and lessons learned here once it is complete.

One question for the forum experts, since I have found conflicting information:
Do I need to add sealant (RTV) to the channel the rubber gasket fits into on the top of the timing case? (#10 in the RealOEM picture below)
Thank you in advance for any advice or guidance.

From factory manual, yes, you need to add some sealan where the profile gaskets meets with head/block. Check attachment.
