Morroso blue VC gaskets

[flyinlow]

Trying to stop to VC leaks that re occur after a year or so. Morroso blue gaskets rtv'd to the cast valve covers then screwed to scrap plywood to set overnight.

Installed ARP studs.

The iron head sealing areas are not as well finished as aftermarket heads. Would a thin film of high temp silicone grease help seal the bottom of the gasket without gluing it to the head?

Mine would only stop leaking after a thorough cleaning of the head surface, rtv on both sides of the moroso gaskets, screwed down to just touching, then waiting overnight followed by snugging down in the morning.
