It has been my experience that gaskets that have sealer built into them will seal better and work better if you put them on dry. Any unevenness in extra sealer that is applied to the gasket could actually cause leakage. If the deck and head are truly flat, you should not have a problem. If things are not flat, even extra sealer will probably not hold.
Proper torque is important. Too much can distort and warp the block and head castings. Too little will result in insufficient clamping force. Torque pattern is not critical normally. Start in the middle and work your way out in increasingly large circles.
Head bolts on engines that age should not be torque to yield. That technology was probably not even invented when that engine was built. My guess would be that some kits are coming with head bolts because the original bolts are probably corroded and of inferior material. After all, they are how old?? As much as 60 or 70 years old? Maybe older?
