I have rubber valve cover gaskets on for 3 years and not a drop of oil.

You can still get the metal/rubber gaskets. Best deal IMO. I am still using a set on my car that came from the factory in 1988.

Go to your local Ford Dealership and get the rubber gaskets.They are way better than the cork style.they cost a little more but they be used over and over again.You may want to check you valve cover .That could be the problem

I'm using Late Model Restorations rubber ones without issues....had them on and off multiple times.... Cork gaskests won't have an issue sealing so long as they come off in one piece and you clean the surfaces so the gasket doesn't get soaked in oil...
