Yes but that's the head gasket not the timing cover gasket it covers part of the top of the chain cover what you said is for timing cover not head gasket

If I remember the sealnt goes on the bottom becuse of the wet sump oil tends to leak out if not sealed

what makes you think heads cracked , if it is its usually obvious by eye
There should be no need to for any sealant timing cover to block providing new gaskets are used. However a smear of Hylomar will do no harm. Sealant is used on both sides of sump where timing cover meets block and where rear crank oil seal housing meets block if you have removed sump. Hylomar is the best sealant on the planet. Get some.

Blue Hylomar is best. It is used to seal metal to metal joins on RR jet engines. No gaskets. Ceramic sealing fluid would be K seal, not a lot of good for gaskets i am afraid.
