maybe your guy smeared on the 574 and then the phone rang... oh well.

that said, Kevin Jeanette at Gunnar Porsche Racing uses a thin smear of hylomar to seal the case halves and he doesn't get oil leaks from his motors.
i and many other people consider him one of the best porsche 911 engine builders and THE best porsche racecar restoration person on the planet.

when i worked there in the 80's, he came in really early in the morning before it was light out when he built motors so there would be no phone calls or other people around to distract him.

i don't know what he uses to seal the cam towers to the heads, but you can use hylomar to seal almost everywhere succesfully and it's really easy to clean up with a rag and laquer thinner.
unlike most gasket sealers it completely ignores gasoline so if you need to seal a carb or mechanical fuel pump gasket it is the one to use.
