I just use a skim coating of RTV Silicone that I spread thinly with my finger 
on the valve cover gasket.  The old mechanic who has my ear stresses that no 
dressing beyond a thin coat of white lithium grease is needed.  He claims 
that the dressings jus "gunk up the motor" and that gaskets were made to work 
without them.  I have used that and it seems to work well too.  Lots of 
opinions on this, I am sure, but no one will agree  with "gobs".  8^)
