The only gasket maker I have found to work in place of a gasket is Right Stuff by permatex. This is used on many newer oem vehicles. It comes in either a small caulk tube or what I call a whip cream can. It runs around $15.00 and will make about 10 V8 valve cover gaskets. I use it on my buggy engines except for the case halves which need the gasket for it acts like a spacer. I had used it exclusively on my 6.5 diesel. 200,000 miles on it with no leaks.
