So i just replaced my valve cover gasket today and i found that the guy before me had applied RTV around the corners and half moons. when i took off the valve cover, all of that dried up RTV fell into the engine. it took me about an hour with tweesers to get it all out. i really don't recommend using that stuff..if anything use, FIPG. i didn't use any today simply because i didn't have any. but i'll just see how it works for now. i didn't use any on my last celi and i didnt have any problems with it.
