Boosted motors need a slightly tighter gap.

Maybe not too much? One of the big challenges faced by folks adding forced induction to late model engines is ring land breakage due to top ring expansion. Add boost, add heat, add ring gap.

Thanks guys for all the RTV references, I have bookmarked them all and will use them for my selection, once I begin the reassembly process.

Please also investigate anaerobic sealers. These sealers are opposite of RTV in that they only cure in the absence of oxygen. They are usually the best choice to use between two rigid surfaces, such as a rear main cap and the block. There are plenty of examples of situation in which RTV was not the correct choice and was not cured even years after it was applied. Classic examples include in manual transmissions and rear differentials.

Did it involve a blueprint that looked anything like this?
