Maybe try a different silicone? The Permatex stuff I used cured and wasn't a problem but the carbon on it sure was :-)

Has anyone tried the 'tighten down whilst the engine is hot' method of securing the header nuts?
I've used the silicone on the threads on the right side nut since it seemed to be the only one that would come loose. Worked very well but was a bit messy when taking it apart; the silicone stuck to everything.
