I used the cork gaskets on the tappet covers when I built my engine,
used silicone gasket cement on them.. After the assy had sat overnight,
I tightened the bolts up some more. The cork gaskets collapse a bit,
y'see. That was >5 years ago and no leaks yet.
Trouble with that one piece cover is that you may have to make other
equipment changes if you install it.
Cheers,
