Those ABA gaskets work really well if the valve cover isn't bent up.  Clean and dry the rail and VC and use sparing sealant on the ends was the best way I found.
Short of gluing a cork one on both sides it was the only thing that ever made one stop leaking for me.  And don't over-tighten.

Hope it runs right for you.
Many things we do naturally become difficult only when we try to make them intellectual subjects. It is possible to know so much about a subject that you become ignorant.
