Is it ok to use locktight red gasket maker instead of polaris 3 bond sealer?

I believe yamabond is the same type of stuff that 3 bond is. It seams to stay very plyable. Not sure what red gasket maker is, but I wouldn't chance it.

I would use the 3 bond, I think that it would seal better than gasket maker.

I have used Loc-Tite blue gasket maker and has worked fine.

The critical part is that the sealer shouldn't add much if any thickness to the parts when torqued down. If it sets up thick, it'll throw the case clearances off and you could be in for a rough ride.
