It's not really a good idea. Intake vacuum can draw sealer into the engine, and most sealers won't survive exposure to exhaust gas temperature. Clean, dry, and straight surfaces are the key to getting a good seal on the intake/exhaust flanges. Make sure the alignment rings are in the intake passage counterbores to keep the gasket positioned correctly.
