I never have used silicone
Original primitive gasketing from Russia sucked and the cork ENGO ones were not any better.
Someone came of with these silicone ones and I have never had any problems with them at all. That's barring a mechanic friend of mine who over tightened and crushed one of the gaskets which came apart the next time I went to adjust the valves. Have to buy in pairs so I changed only the damaged one. On the other side of the engine I'm still using the same original silicone gasket going on 10 years now.
Here's the odd thing that I had to get over... smearing a fingerfull of oil or gasket sealer on top or under the gasket as I had always been taught. That's a big No-No. Silicone gaskets need nothing and will leak like a sieve if you do that.
Recommended good practice is to clean them and the two surfaces you are mating with alcohol prior to installation. Have to be absolutely clean for them to work properly.
Never, ever a leak of any type.

silicone gaskets
Ha. I agree. Been told they are that color so you can better see any leaks but not sure if that is actually true.
