Easy boys its just my opinion,I tolerate yours...the gland ring does not increase clamping force,it holds alignment.Droop is an issue? Sure, but not a major issue

Silicone is a modern solution to many issues with early
engines if used correctly.

One of the reasons I raised compression,added fuel,run a header and use a mechanical advance distributor is increased efficiency, my engine and exhaust run cooler than a stock engine.A cooler exhaust doesn't burn gaskets or warp.
