No, Lambdas don't like silicone, no matter how little it will get through and contaminate.
I use Stagg Wellseal, just the lightest smear around the ports and waterways, and never had a leaker yet.

Loctite do an O2 sensor safe sealant. Most factors will sell it.
I use a paper gasket to cut my own gakets and some sealant to make sure.

I use Wellseal as well as gasket paper.
