If you use the Permatex as the sole gasket, it is a whole different set of instructions per the tube. Tighten until squeeze out, wait one hour and tighten 1/4-1/2 more turns. That is all well and good, but if you have the situation where the threads need to be sealed, I would then think: mark fastener positions, pull all fasteners after the 1 hour period and coat threads with sealer, then tighten 1/2 turn past the marked position.
Any thoughts on this?

I think your are way over thinking it IMHO.

I understand why you would/could think that. Also why it is YOUR opinion. Maybe I lack the experience you or others have, so I ask people who are smarter than me in any particular area. I like to do things right the first time. I don't like ripping things back apart to do it right the second or third time, especially if the interior has to come back out...no thanks!
You know what they say about stupid questions right?
You also know what they say about opinions
