You could borrow Bubba's. He loans tools and free advice. You can shut him up with a cold one...

Matter of fact, give me a cold one and I'll shut up.

If I remember my Army training (infantry), the solution to all incomprehensible problems was "blow it in place with C4".

By hand at first. Then an open end wrench to snug it down.
As far as gaskets, I prefer rubber. The cork gaskets do dry out and start to crack over time. When I did mine, I used permatex to hold them in place on the valve covers. The valve cover bolts are just past finger tight by about 1/2 turn. They haven't leaked in two & half years.

You may be on to something, Easy Mike. I'll watch too and enjoy a cold one with you...
