I am going with cooking bacon nekkid. If you don't run the pan and get a leak, you can light it on fire and cook bacon on it.

On another note, silicone only exacterbates gasket squirtage. Cat Glue or some other contact cement is what should be used to "hold" gaskets in place. If you put it on with cat glue and let it get a heat cycle, you could pull all the bolts out of it and not have a leak, or worry about it falling off. Cat glue is that good.

WTF is cat glue Lester? I've just always used RTV black on everything...except timing and WP gaskets...then I use RTV Blue...and that's only to match the blue gasket...hehe.
