Head gasket goes dry 300E? Other hints....

Hi, well I have the same oil in the water failure again (first at 75K) and now at 226K the second....seems a failure at the rear nest to the exhaust.....ready to drop the rebuilt head in....question since I do not remember from the last time but : does the head gasket goes in just "dry", meaning no other sealant than the red streak around the gasket (Reinz) in between two clean and dry surfaces: block and resurfaced head?....BTW mechanic said that exhaust guides intact....226K!...replaced intake only due to exhaust sodium cooled and the oil seals.........?, cris-cross pattern in cylinder intact....and after replacing all cooling system items..all hoses, radiator (milky stuff all around)..how do you get the rest of the milky(oil) stuff in ie..heater core, etc..??.....well, I am torquing tomorrow....70NM first stage....90 deg...other 90 deg....well Thanks
