cam end plate sealant

hey guys-

Im in the process of replacing the gaskets between the heads and the cam end plates and I read in Waynes book to use Curil-T to seal them up. I've also read around this board that Curil-T doesn't exactly grow on trees. Is there a local store that I can buy this stuff at or is there a suitable replacment that will work? Some people have mentioned "yamabond". Is there any reason why silicon RTV wouldn't work?

Also, the book says to put in the cam chain box gasket (between the box and the case) dry with no sealant. Any reason why I wouldn't want to seal up the bottom of these gaskets with something? Oil leaks are not my friends, they must be defeated!
