Hey Freddie,
'better seal' ...whose seal is in there now, if you can say ?
I use Burtz one piece seal AND the specially made (for this purpose)dan4banger alum seal with.
SBC chev seal is also in use and I understand other makers seals also are used. The two that I have in use now, are Burtz/Dan combo (with NO leaks). The 'little' bit of sealant would, IMO, be just a little to help hold the oil sealed at the corners of where the block/cap meet..a small 'dab'..
NOTE: proper install is critical for proper function. Do you know who did the work and has that person done this type seal before yours ? Expertise and perfect workmanship equal no leak , in my experience. They work if installed as required
