[Fot] Valve cover gasket sealant

[Joe Boruch]

 Aside from gluing the gasket to the cover, as Phil notes, I have been using Hylomar on the gasket surface that contacts the head, to help it seal and it is still easy to remove.  This is with a cork gasket, not silicone.  JoeB

 Just glue the gasket to the cover and you’ll be good to go. Easy on and off. Seals every time.

In the attempt to get my Spitfire back on the road this year, I changed the oil and filter. As I was pouring oil in, I noticed that oil was pouring out at the back of the valve cover. Since I have an alloy valve cover, I ordered a silicon gasket.
Any recommendations as to a sealant to keep the oil inside the valve cover? Or is that gasket going to be enough?
