Thanks for all the responses guys.

Just to respond to a few points.

The valve covers are notched to clear the intake and I conformed they are not touching it.

I am using the FelPro gaskets that are basically cork impregnated with rubber and have cinched everything down a few times.

It sounds like I need to grab sum of the Right Stuff sealant and see if that helps, if not maybe try some different gaskets.

This gasket has lasted me 20+ years w/o leaks
