OK, I've read most of the threads here regarding installing gaskets but for one more time I'd like some opinions. In the old days it was easy, cork and gasket sealer. Now it's cork, rubber, sealed or not sealed and of course Permatex Black or Right Stuff with no preformed gasket.

I have a 68 Ventura, 400ci that had the original valve covers on it till last night. Now I'm ready to put cleaned up stainless steel covers on. Both the heads and the covers are spotless clean now. So I've had people say just use rubber and no sealant, cork and some sealant and others say Permatex only. A pretty good mechanic I know, more as a friend said that anything but Permatex will leak whereas a friend with 20 years of old big Pontiac rebuilding says rubber with no sealant will work fine.

Tell me what you all think.
