Rubber gasket vs. a cork gasket

I HATE cork gaskets.
Clean the cover real good of all oil and junk.
1/8 in bead of red silicone on the cover (And all the way around the bolt holes)
Rubber gasket then another 1/8 bead on the engine side of the gsket and slap er on wet.
When putting the silicone on, smooth it down a little with your finger to spread it a little.
Tighten in a rotating pattern like you would a cyl head just till snug (Not tight) a little at a time until they are all about the same.

If you do it this way, after a day you could take the bolts out and throw em away and it will still not leak. :-)
Did it once to prove it to someone. (Drove it 15 miles to his house and back)
