In GM world, metal to metal seals are generally the grey stuff

Camshaft bearing? They are bored straight into the head so nothing to change.

The black rtv will be ok around the sharp corners to supplement the gasket but you'll need something else under the front bearing cap. Blue hermetite works for me.
