I wish every reply could be right,,, Theirs no set rule,,,you learn from your mistakes... A AMC 4.0 (aluminum valve cover) and GM 2.5 L4 valve cover I do not use a gasket,,, The right stuff will seal'em... Nuttin will seal a 5 bolt olds V8 valve cover for long,,, I use a good cork gasket,,, get to do it in a year are so again,,, pays Good... I as soon glue a cork gasket with 3M glue to the valve cover and bolt it up if I have a sealing problem then I will decide what to do...
The issue most face is the load is not spread out...
GM # 14085816 is a reinforcement stud and bolt kit used to spread out the load on valve cover,,, I use this kit on every thing I can and in most cases it eliminates leaks and gasket damage... Google the number I have not found any other reinforcement clamp that can compete with it, any thing else is junk.... This kit will eliminate leaks on GM 4 bolt covers... Seams anything that uses center bolt covers need nuttin but a gasket....

Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
