Re: Gasket sealant or not?

Thanks for the replies, I ended up using the RTV gasket sealant, spread 
very thinly on each side of the gasket hoping it would help keep the 
gasket from flopping around as I tried to install the cover. The Fel-Pro 
gasket (found out it was cork/rubber combo gasket) came with 
instructions that didn't mention using sealant at all.

The sections of the driver's side gasket got pinched inwards and it 
began to leak again, so I had to loosen it all up and pull the gasket 
even with the cover and head surface. So far so good.

Eventually I'll probably end up getting something like the PML aluminum 
covers, I think they are gasketless and only require that blue RTV 
gasket maker as a seal.
