Depends on what you are using a gasket maker for. On the sump plate, I use permanent red, as little as absolutely possible. Works fine. Now, if I were resealing the cam covers, I would only use the P spec sealant.

+1 The 50ml tube of Dri-Bond is barely enough to assemble 1 engine. It is a pain to get all the sealant out especially once it gets old. Rather than buy a new tube just for a sump plate I use Permatex Ultra Grey.
