I was under the understanding that "just skim it" is not worth doing unless the engine overheated or head is warped because it removes a protective layer making the head more porous .
This debate may be for nout anyway since may find it does need a skim regardless
rtv being silicone? Don't worry already know to use anaboregltic(?) sealant such as loctice 547 so it doesn't block the oil ways
I wasn't aware cambelts were a one use thing, pretty sure I've seen people push them to one side before however if they only have a 5 year lifespan I'll look into seeing if I can find a pair as there's two on these engines
