I have done this a few times. This is my method (no issues):

-No Silicone RTV anywhere- let's just get it out there - None!

Case perimeter- Threebond 1104/1194
Case main saddles - Loctite 574
#8 Bearing - Threebond 1211
Flywheel seal - Curil T

Base gaskets- Curil T

Cam tower to Heads - Threebond 1104/1194

Chain box to case and chain box to chain box covers - Loctite 518

Anywhere you are using a paper gasket besides valve covers - Loctite 518

Red Loctite on Head Studs - CASE side (and nowhere else) The next guy that takes the flywheel off the motor where you put red loctite is going to want to F-in' kill you (and that may be you, trying to kill yourself in the past). Or if you put it on the exhaust studs that go into the heads. Don't do it!

This is tried and true. It works well to keep the engine from leaking, and it comes apart with minimal fuss. Loctite 574 hardens and requires a razor to remove; it makes gaskets hard and brittle (and stick). Loctite 518 stays supple and fills large gaps when mating with gaskets.
