Oil pan gasket

Just another dumb question! I bought the Victor reinz bottom end gasket set, the oil pan gasket has a seal on it already. Do I use sealant on both sides of gasket, or just the block side?

Thanks

You only use sealant at the four corners of the block where the seams are. But be warned, I've had bad luck with the VR oil pan gaskets and had to do the job twice because of a faulty gasket. The second time I used oem because this is far from a fun job.
