Wipe them down and put them in place. As long as you do not destroy the gasket by over tightening, they will seal for years.

Just my $0.02 worth

Same here. I think they are called rubberized cork Felpro gaskets. Coat a little oil on the head side before tightening. Once you've run the car for a couple of heat/cool cycles, re torque and no leaks at all. And they can be taken off and on many time before replacement is needed. I've had mine off four times and they look new over a period of 8 months.
