Default header seal

The gasket was the obvious choice, I also had never heard of just the rtv.
The motor is a ls-2 so the heads have a smooth surface as do the headers.
Yes I was told this by the tech guy at SW, he did suggest using grade 5 or 8 bolts. But i think they wouldn't look very good, also be a pain to work with.
The mess was another concern i had. Do you think it would work the same if you let it skin over abit before the header was bolted up? Or do you think it would kill it's abilty to seal?
