I don't like using RTV on the case halfs at all, due to it squeezing out and
possibly falling inside the engine case. That kind of thing can clog an oil
passage real quick. I normally use Permatex Aviation glue to seal case halfs, as
it's the closest thing to what VW originally used when they built the engine.
I do use RTV on the base of the cylinders instead of the paper gasket, as it
seals better there, and the RTV will squeeze outward of the case. Just my take
on it.
