Timing Chain Cover Seal

Are you familiar with RTV propped application? Apply allow to sit for a few minutes tighten slightly allow more time. Torque to spec

Give or take.
Personally no gasket is a mistake IMHO, gaskets space parts the appropriate distance from each other, the parts your putting together were designed to have gaskets.
Just my opinion

Exactly. No way would I use RTV only on an oil pan or timing cover. The only places you're supposed to use RTV on the pan gasket is at the two corners where the pan gasket meets the oil pan seal in the rear and the two corners in the front where the oil pan gasket meets the front oil pan seal. That's it.
