I make sure I was using brass, and seal it with Permatex hardening sealer.

did you have the block machined?? If so they should have already installed them. My shop installs them as soon as the block is done and cleaned.

Don't use silicone. Clean everything with solvent (brake cleaner and/or acetone) to thoroughly degrease it, and use Permatex hardening sealer. Silicone will not seal as long or well as the Permatex.
