Yeah I didn't find any other solution. In the past I would trim the excess "green" away and use a thin layer of Right Stuff on both sides of the gasket.
That seems to work but removal and clean time up just went up an hour or two.

I also heard of going gasket-less but not sure

I do get a lot of oil build up just left of the bb valve - around where the coolant and egr ports are blocked off which I found odd. I'll have to look into that before I seal er up again
