Default Sealant

I would like to know what type of sealant you guys are using to reinstall the timing chain cover, etc??? Do you seal up the whole thing along with the new gasket or just do the bottom corners where it contacts the oil pan???

Yeah the gaskets will have their own rubber seal on them. Just put some RTV in the bottom corners where the cover and pan meet and you should be good to go!
