Does any sealer need to used when installing a new head gasket? Head is flat.

Depends on the gasket and the engine. My self I use Copper coat on almost all head gasket and have for decades. But then I have also been told you can not reuse a head gasket but have also done that for decade but only on air cooled engines like lawn mower engines

Certain 06 and 66 series required a little silicon sealant on the coolant side of the engine.

Is that why my 1256(DT407)weeps?

Yes, For years and years and years my Dad always did that on all those old IH tractors 06-86 series. He never found a head gasket that would hold with out doing that to.
