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

Using standard gasket sets, RTV and Permatex High Tack adhesive I have build many motors with out leaks. And they will come apart with out major issues. The keys to leak free engine building are: clean - flat mating surfaces, quality - defect free gaskets, correct torque on fasteners, and knowing where and what kind of sealant - adhesive to apply.
I never had any major issues and I put together several motors myself...
