The cork gaskets are great, but you'll have to get longer studs for
the rocker cover to allow for the thicker gasket.
I wouldnt bother with the thread sealer on the studs because
the gasket goes clear around the studs, and any oil that makes it past
the threads on the stud, would have to fill three inches of a 5/16 diam
hole
on the cover before it would leak out the top.
I guess what I am getting at here is Ive never seen them leak from
there before.
