Should I put anything on the head gasket O-Ring? Like anerobic sealer or coat it with motor oil?

nope

put her in dry, and make sure you clean all the sealing surfaces well to get rid of any oil and other residues.

Ditto.

Just to confirm, we are talking about the rubber O-RING that goes in the head gasket and not the head gasket itself. Right?

Now you've lost me...

 

Are you talking about the cam cover o-ring - being the very last cover over the cams, and far from the head gasket?

no sealants needed for anything involving the head gasket, including the oil passage oring.

ditto

 

I was just trying to unnderstand where he was talking about, since the oil passage o-ring is on the cam tower (which does need sealant) and not the head gasket.

there is one in the head gasket.

ya, I don't mean the cam housing o-ring. I was talking about the one that is built into the head gasket. Thanks for the replies. I find it odd that we leave it dry. I have always coated o-rings in oil or use some sort of sealant. I know to put anaerobic sealant on the o-ring that goes between the cam case and the head.

nahh....ive got/had no leaks form new ones with no sealant.
