It probably is not a bad idea, but in moderation. You plug a line and well, all hell is going to break loose. I am not sure I would use that particular Permatex. If you are dealing with coolant and oil, there is more specialized stuff for the oil. I would do nothing more than a thin ring around each of the holes. Give it plenty of room to run as you squish it all together.

The reason for longer life just like the upgrade pipes/coupler If you want to follow Jaguar recommendations on everything they probably would not recommended the aluminum pipes the Eaton coupler your ordered please return those and replace with OEM Jaguar recommendations only

Thank you Jaaag_drivah!
Again why do you think your improving anything? There are zero reports of that gasket failing?
Anytime I get into a car that is slathered with Silicon I know the guy was a hack. Please, please follow the manufactures recommendations UNLESS there is a reason not too??
Your example of the upgraded metal cooling pipes is good example. We have hundreds of threads on these failing and causing complete engine destruction and thousands if not ten's of thousands of dollars in repairs. So yes in that case it's entirely justified.
But do some searches BEFORE posting and you will see that gasket is not a known or even a reported problem. You have enough repairs and maintenance to do without making things worse by "improving" something that does not need it?

No worries I have started an experiment I put some of the sealant gasket maker on an old gasket and a piece of metal clamped them together we will see how it looks in 48 hrs

Update Looks stable I do not think it will leak did not take much effort to pull it apart I burned both sides to check for heat resistance and it did not melt or fall apart
I will put in a new oil cooler gasket this time with no sealant I will be removing supercharger once again in a couple months to replace SC coupler because the new spring coupler I installed still clunks and shakes when engine is turned off

I dress all these coolant gaskets and other gaskets with Hylomar AF. It never dries, so it can't do the damage of silicon pieces that break off. It holds gaskets in place during assembly so they don't get out of alignment and get destroyed. It makes it easier to remove gaskets later without damage (only applies to non-metal gaskets). And it improves the sealing capabilities of the gaskets. No brainer.
