I'm getting mixed signals. Can't tell if that's a cork gasket or molded rubber. PermaDry would be ideal. $40 for a cork gasket is a joke. That better be a molded rubber, in which case, it's worth $40, even if it's not PermaDry. The only other thing I could recommend is to clean the mating surfaces until they are immaculate, and use only RTV with
NO gasket. And it'll work. Bead size depends on whether the valve cover has an indentation for the gasket or not. If not, a 1/8" bead is more than enough.
However, it's a very long area, and it's an iron head and aluminum cover, so even the silicone will scrub through eventually. Maybe soon. Not sure.
