Now I’m pissed

Never heard of RTV under the bolt heads before... That sounds like hogwash, don't pay too much attention to future "tips" from that person (imo)... I think the normal procedure is thread sealer for the bottom bolts but before doing that, cleaning the threads (in the block) is a good idea. Torque it down using the pattern and I think it's a 2 or 3 step process.

Exactly what I did, other than the addition is rtv under bolt heads

In the future, RTV on the threads only.

Yeah I really should have known better than to listen to my buddy anyways. But no harm done yet fingers crossed 🤞🏻
