Likely not very permanent.
Let us know what sealant and how it works, as most reports show only temporary success, with sealant not being both heat-proof and fuel-proof for the long term.
Am recalling that Yama-Bond is superior to silicone based sealers in this particular application.

The product is promoted as follows:
ThreeBond 1194 is a semidrying liquid gasket whose major component is special synthetic rubber. After it is applied and dried, it will form a rubber-like elastic body. Since it excels in padding property, it shows a high sealing effect on bonded surfaces that have poor flatness and large clearance. In addition, it has excellent resistance to water, oil and gasoline.
