Timing cover gasket or RTV?
I am in the process of a doing a heads and cam swap. I was wondering can I use high temp RTV on the timing cover instead of the timing cover gasket? And Everyone on here seems to say just put a dab of RTV, but on Ls1howto.com says to put a bead along the bottom of the timing cover. Which way is better?

Use the gasket. If you have ripped out any of the rings around the bolts you will need a new one, as it will definitely leak. If you take that gasket spacing out of there your front crank seal may not work properly.
You only NEED to put a line of RTV on the corners, right where the block and pan intersect.
