Sealant for D16 SOHC Valve cover gasket?

Sealant for D16 SOHC Valve cover gasket?
Is it usually recommended to use any kind of sealant on the valve cover gasket for a D16 SOHC Engine?
The repair manual for my vehicle (UK built Rover 216 with a D16Z2 SOHC Engine) says not to use sealant with the SOHC gaskets. However, it says to use a bead of sealant with the DOHC types.
What is the reason for this? Do you agree?
Thanks for any replies.
