Owner Operator

Greetings all,
I'm about to attempt to reseal a leaking Mitsubishi 4G64 valve cover. I've probably resealed 15 or 20 of these through the years. But i'm pretty sure all of them leaked to some degree. And I have tried several different approaches. OEM only parts for the gasket, half moon and bolt grommets. Several different types of sealant. Light torque. Heavier torque. TVH gaskets, Engine supply house gaskets.
I have a machine in the shop now i purchased for resale, and one of the repairs needed is to reseal a leaking valve cover. Anybody succeeding at this that could share some advice-

Thanks in advance

Use the loctite flange sealant. It has been the best so far I've used in 30 years. 933??? Sold by loctite. Flange sealant. It's red and won't harden.
