Yep, that RTV is required!
I didn't read that part when I did mine. I did the back one when I replaced a fuel injector put her all back together and still had a leak. I researched it after the fact and saw the need for the RTV. I had another back fuel injector need replacing so while I was there, removed the valve cover, corrected that problem and it doesn't leak anymore! Coincidentally I've also noticed that my oil light doesn't flicker as much when I start the car, not sure if there is something to that or not, but glad the oil leak is gone!

My 95 FSM calls for "Use genuine liquid gasket or equivalent".
Which RTV do you guys recommend for applying to the corners of valve covers per FSM?
Would one of below Permatex RTVs work perfectly in aiding VC gaskets to seal up corners as shown in FSM?
Permatex Ultra Black RTV Silicone Gasket Maker
Permatex High-Temp Red RTV Silicone Gasket
Permatex Sensor Safe Blue Silicone RTV Gasket
