I do not advocate running w/o a base gasket.  There are dis-similar metals involved that expand and contract at different rates when heated.  Most crankcases are magnesium and most cylinders are aluminum. 

If you toast an expensive older or unobtainable cylinder because you used Permatex without the gasket, dont cry. 

If you want to boost compression take the time to do it correctly.     

Good advice as usual, plus you don't have to scrape off the goo at a later date!
