Default Does the timing cover need rtv?

I took off the timing cover and looks like the previous owner used rtv. Does the timing cover need rtv? Or does it get installed dry?

you are working so fast ..... members hardly had time to answer your other torque question

yours is a 97 camry 3.0
the model we cant find a free repair manual pdf online

good .. that you are replacing the water pump at the same time

I would use RTV on the timing cover . the person before you did

If you don't want it to leak it does.
