318 LA Rotor position and TDC questions

Hi Guys,
Finished building my plug wires, filled transmission fluid, engine oil and water......My first problem: Water is seeping out from the bottom of my front intake gasket at a pretty good rate. Used a very small amount of gasket adhesive to hold the gasket in place as I installed the intake. The edelbrock intake never really seemed to press itself into the gasket as I tightened it, but it fit well. Now I guess that I have to undo all of my top end stuff and re-seal the intake...Bummer! Question is, should I go ahead and use a new cork gasket with some RTV underneath it? Maybe forgo the gasket altogether and use Straight RTV (seems like a big space to just goop silicone into). I don't want to take this apart again. What do you guys think?
