RTV, Permatex, Aviation Form-A-Gasket, The right stuff etc....

Have you disassembled an oil pan or valve cover that was glued to the crankcase with that Right Stuff gasket maker?
Not a valve cover I wouldn't put RTV on a valve cover... But yes at one point or another I've taken all the tin off of my engine... And of course the point you're making is it doesn't come off easy. And it didn't. But I'm not the kind of guy who sticks in a drag strip only Cam and expecting great Street manners out of it... There's always a trade-off.. I'll pay the extra 10 $15 a tube and the extra labor to get the parts off when or if they eventually come off.
I repeat, did I say I don't like leaks...
