There is no substitute for proper surface preparation. Have been assembling 
engines with lubriplate (white grease) for years. Only time I will use a 
dab of Permatex is when I just cannot get a gasket to stay in place. I 
figure that anything that had to come apart once is liable to come apart again.

Do usually keep some RTV around but as an adhesive, not a sealer.
