The flat cardboard gaskets? I put them on dry.

Perhaps not the usual procedure, but I put a tiny bit of Form-A-Gasket sealer on the bottom side of the gasket and a very thin layer of light grease on the top side. This allows me to easily remove the top plenum again in the future and re-use the gaskets (which are now stuck to the middle plenum). I don't do this elsewhere on the engine, but for this location I feel it's fine.

I also like to put a light coat of grease or oil on one side of the plenum gasket. It allows the plenum to be removed easily, without damaging the gasket. And it still seals properly.
