Gasket or RTV?

YYou're absolutely right. That said, the other 3 attempts probably worked too.

Ultra grey and roll with it

I like Ultra gray on both side of the gasket. Put the bolts in and tighten down till the gasket just makes full contact. Let set over night and then torque them to 13ft lbs. Then snug them back up every time I have my skid plate off.
