I have seen some people Over Tighten the hold down bolts. I sprayed a contact cement on the gasket then stuck it to " Those Cheap Steel Valve Covers" I also used the long hold down bars and Allen Bolts. I then just snugged the bolts and rechecked them every time I drove it after that. I also used a Cork Gasket I don't have any leakage after 3 years of driving.
