I find that it works best to glue them (good
quality rubber ones) in place in the valve
cover, before installing the valve cover on the
head. Occasionally, I have to tighten the bolts
a little bit, but I haven't had any other
problems. I have used this method several
times. I also find it easier to deal with
cleaning the valve cover rather than having the
scrape the head. Although the surface must be
cleaned, the less work I have to do on the
head, hanging over the fender, the easier it is
on my back.

Have you tried to get rubber cover gaskets? I purchased some in
1980 for my 1972 Custom Suburban S/W with a 400 in it.
I am going to see if I can get some for my 75's 440. RockAuto has
them FEL-PRO Part # VS50145R Rubber coated fiber gaskets $14.40
