If you use silicone make sure to use a good one.
An ultra grey automotive silicone should work fine and be a color close to original car color.

You can find it at any parts store but that is what I would use.

However the trick to making it easy to remove and easy to -delid a second time- with just your fingers (like let's say you messed up the LM) is to apply four VERY small dabs in each corner of the IHS, when using the relid kit. Each dab should be no larger than the size of a pin-head. If you made it the size of a grain of rice, that's a bit too much. If you can't measure or haven't seen a pinhead, half a grain of rice in size would be a good estimate :) Make sure when you delid the first time, you remove all of the original black goop Intel used. Some people also recommend sanding the entire edge of the IHS until the square ring is copper colored, to make sure it's flat.
It's a parasitic power loss. I cut the belt on my '01 Accord about 4 years ago.
You should go ahead and replace the input shaft bearing on the transmission. If that's the original 277k transmission, then you're going to have to rebuild it at some point. It sounds more difficult than it is. Here's a list of all the unique parts/tools. You'll know your ISB (input shaft bearing) has failed when you hear a gross/grinding noise that disappears when you're stopped, engine is running, but have the clutch pedal pressed to the floor.

Or something like this might be ideal for you. Not for me though. I'm cheap :)
