one time i made a dimensionally correct replica of the cork main cap gasket from 1/4 thick sheet silicone worked real well
remember when using silicone on cork or rubber gaskets until cured silicone acts like a lubricant grease its easy to effectually over torque and squeeze out gaskets or split and over crush them just using regularly proper torque
if you go the silicone route its best to use enough torque to get a good squeeze out ensuring full mating surface contact let it cure for a few days then apply final torque when the silicone is like rubber not grease
