RTv or not?

Well, if you don't want to use the gasket that is made for this camcover, making sure to include the 6 spark plug gaskets as well.... then RTV would definitely make for a great seal, but would be a royal pain to remove and reseal if you ever needed to get back in there, wouldn't it?
Why not just buy the gasket?

For metal to metal surfaces I do not like RTV, I much prefer flange sealer, like Loctite 515 or 518. There is essentially no cure time, and it doesn't introduce a large filler like a bead of RTV does. with flange sealer you put a sufficient amount on, put the parts together, torque to spec and return to service.
