What? Goo alone? :o

No, go with the gasket, with sealant only where indicated in the guide. Too much RTV kicking around will find its' way into the oil pickup and then you'll have real problems!

No not with goo alone, just to put some excess goo where it's broken. So  should I try with non OEM gasket there?

A non OEM gasket is going to have more chance of success than that broken one

No, don't try to 'fix' this seal.
As said, if you try mend it with sealant, some of it might get into the cylinder head, and then in oil channels -> than you will se it can get get worse).

Get a new gasket. It doesn't need to be OEM, you can use Victor-reinz -> they are as good as OEM.
You should be able to source it whitnih 1 day (if you go to the local parts store today, they sholud be able to get it from main warehouse by tomorrow) -> just make sure it's Victor reinz.
There is a camcover set (2 gaskets, 12 small o-rings), part no: 15-34268-02 (you need 2 sets, one for each head.

PS. I see that you are from Slovenia, so I belive that similar product range is available there as it is here in Croatia -> don't let the store try to convince you to use Erling, corteco,  or something else.

Oh, I see now, you have a non-OEM gasket in garage  :y

From which manufacturer? How long it is stored in garage, and is it in original packing (not opened and exposed to air).
