Given it is the petrol I'd get a new gasket and use Hylomar as well.
 
RTV is silcone, perfectly fine on metal sumps..,....and L322 valley pans.

Indeed I use RTV on the valley gasket notches (those are on V8's). As per RAVE.

I guess the sarcasm didn't come through

Yep Silicone lubricant and room temperature vulcanising Silicone do possess slightly different properties. :D:D;)
