No need to put anything on them. They are installed bare.

Is there a "left" and "right" steel header gasket or are do you use the same part number for both sides?

It looks like you could just flip the passenger one upside down and it would fit the driver side. However I think the gaskets indicate which side is up and which side should be against the engine.
