Ive got stright rtv on my t-stat housing and my water pump. Been there for bout 76000 miles just fine. I'd trust rtv, as long as there is enough to fill the groove good, thats where the string would come into play i believe. Sounds like a quick, im broke as hell, rebuild to me. I wouldnt trust it in a race or high hp car but a dd sure.
