Nelson,
The NAPA ones work pretty good. Mines been on for a year and a half and is
holding good. I just made sure I cleaned all surfaces very well with brake
cleaner, then put a thin coat of RTV on both sides of the gasket, the
engine, and the valve cover.
You may have to trim the gasket a bit to fit your particular valve cover.
