Are the gaskets on the EX-5VA1 installed dry or with some type of gasket sealant? I understand not to install gaskets and metal locknuts until final assembly. Thanks in advance.

Dry, at final assembly.

Just wondering - why metal locknuts on the fuel servo?

Thanks for the replies.
I use metal locknut FWF to be sure. Just me.

The fiber-nylon that retains the fastner retention strength will be compromised with high temps where the metal lock nut will not.
