Johnson 88HP Cylinder head cover gasket question

[jerryny]

Hi all. I have what seem like a silly question but I want to make sure I put the gaskets on correctly. Service manual for motor says to apply gasket sealing compound to the cylinder head cover gasket and install. My question is: Do I brush the sealing compound to the whole gasket area on both sides? Thanks in advanced for your help

Yes both sides of gaskets.
