I would not recommend Curil-T. That sticky goo will just create more mess and other products are better suited for use here. Curil-T will work there but I don’t think it’s wise when other stuff is readily available. Heck, I’d use basic petroleum jelly there before using something sticky

Incidentally, the Wayne Dempsey book ("that book") uses Curil T on the Camshaft Flange O ring and also the gasket that interfaces between the flange and the camshaft tower. I'm not defending it, just mentioning it.
