If the gasket feels "rubbery" or "sticky" out of the box, it has the sealant already on it. Just follow any indication of "top" or "bottom" and use no sealant. The mitsu is doing fine with a dry headgasket.
As the other guys have said, the dry steel or copper-clad gaskets do require the spray copper-kote as a pre-treatment.
