Well I wouldn't say you can't go wrong. Case through bolts go opposite of Wanye's book and silicone on the case washers is an amateur mistake.
We don't do it and never would.
I've seen a couple of Tom Woodford's engine jobs and he's a fan of putting silicone on the washers but I have never seen a top flight mechanic use this technique.
If the case sealing area shows signs of distortion we machine the surface for proper sealing.
We use Dow 55 oring lube on the orings, Wurth copper anti seize on the threads of the case through bolts. The 8mm perimeter nuts are installed dry.
With TreeBond sealant you snug the perimeter nuts, torque the case through bolts and then torque the perimeter nuts.
