Rob, not sure if your TR6 valve cover is similar to my TR3 aluminum cover but
it sounds similar. I glued the cork to the flat gasket surface at the bottom
of the valve cover. After it dryed in place I put a thin layer of RTV on the
cork and let it dry. WHen I put the cover onto the head I coat the gasket or
the head with some oil and then assemble it. The oil allows me to easily
remove the cover when I need to. I have had the same gasket on the valve cover
for years, with minimal if any leakage. Joe(B)

The new tr-6 motor is leaking oil badly at the valve cover I am using an
aluminum cover it does not have the grove to accept the cork gasket
The block has one vent at the old fuel pump mount It's a 3/4" copper elbow
pointed up with a collection can at the old battery mount, position
I am thinking about another hole or two in the cover ! Getting some thin
gasket material And glue the thing down with permatex but that makes for a
real mess just to get a check inside help thanks rob
