I always make mine out of clear silicone. I put
a 3/16" bead and let it set up a while. Then carefully install using a nut
driver. I also install 1/4" studs to guide the valve covers so they don't
smear. I never had a leak. Wipe the excess off and your done.
Works for me with my stock covers everytime.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] VALVE
COVERS
DOES ANYONE HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR A CURE FOR
LEAKING VALVE COVERS. I HAVE A 70 SS 396 CHEVELLE WITH THE OEM CHROME VALVE
COVERS AND CAN NOT KEEP THEM FROM LEAKING AROUND THE EDGES. I HAVE BEEN VERY
CAREFUL NOT TO OVER TIGHTEN THEM SO AS NOT TO BEND LIP. IS THERE A
PREFERRED BRAND/TYPE OF GASKET OR SHOULD I TRY A SEALANT. IF A SEALANT IS BEST
SHOULD IT GO ON HEAD SIDE OR VALVE COVER SIDE OF GASKET OR NOT US A GASKET AT
ALL WITH SEALANT. POSSIBLE STUPID QUESTION BUT ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE
APPRECIATED. THANKS, LES.
