There is no gasket because of the fine tolerance on your cam journal, using a gasket would have your camshaft wobbling around, OK im exaggerating it so to explain it easier.
It may only be a few thou difference but that is enough to do damage the camshaft & journals eventually.
You only use the very thinnest of smears of sealant, any more & it will squeeze out into "little worms" and block your oilways, been there done that, learned a lesson.
