XS650 head gasket??

1979 Yam xs650 cylinder head has a small groove in the metal about 4mm wide and 2-3mm deep around the outside of the gasket mating surface but stops short either side of the cam chain adjuster housing, does anyone know if sealant goes in it before the head gasket?? Cheers.

No, just fit gasket.
