Head gasket question…do I need to use a sealant?

Hi,
Replacing the head gasket on a 1930 Super 8 engine. As I’m getting ready to install the new gasket….very nice copper gasket I purchased from Olson’s…I am not sure if I need to use some kind of sealant. I think the answer is no, and this is just a crush-type copper gasket…but wanted to ask to make sure. Sealant, or no sealant? …and the head nut torque is 65 lbs, correct?
Thanks,
Rich
