I've put the gasket back on a few times, but with age it gets hard & brittle. At some point it starts leaking. If you use silicone you risk some of it oozing out & making little droplets of hardened silicone which get into your oil & plug things up.
I was careful only to use a little bit, but I lived to regret it anyway. Next time the VC came off I was prepared with a new gasket. But it was a major PITA to clean off all that silicone crap.
The new gasket hasn't gotten hardened, so it kinda holds itself in place. There's little pinch points in the gasket groove that hold it in place. Those worked OK for me.
