It's not that RTV is no good it's just that RTV is a temporary gasket and has the possibility of wearing down with time. Doesn't mean that everything that is RTVed will fail its just a possibility. I'm not sure how mace works but with the RX black ice-o-later you can use a double gasket so you don't have to worry about RTV problems in the future.

I'm not saying that RTV is crap or shouldn't be used I'm just saying to check out your manifold because an air leak in that area can cause problems like the ones you are describing
