I've used Hylomar in the past but as I recall from when I recently had
the valve cover off the remains of the Hylomar were still tacky enough
that I simply put the gasket back on w/o using any additional sealant.

I suspect that a well-broken-in (but undamaged) cork gasket may
actually seal better than a new cork one which presents a flat surface
to the cover and may further compress over time.
