I never use two or partial gaskets.
I use red rtv applied sparingly to the AF base ridge outline using a toothpick.
Never failed to work for me.

Personally I don't as it is only .50 for two AM gaskets and time of essence here. Don't want be waiting for the RTV to cure or risk it getting the passages but it not one of mine nor one of my customer's machines. If customer can't afford a dollar for a couple gaskets then they can carry it to a makeshift patcher. I do professional work.
But of course Fulltilt you probably would use RTV on a head gasket too. I know someone did on engine I had in here last Fall.
