Just wanted to provide an update: nearing 10,000 miles on my rebuild (see my sealing methods on page 1 of this thread) and no leaks! Knock on a large plank o' Porsche wood, that this continues! I should also add that the red silicone (re-usable) valve cover gaskets have been worth their weight in gold as I've had my covers on and off 1,000,000,000,000 times and they still seal perfectly!
The only issue I encountered were a few rocker shafts that "walked", and even with the RSR seals, leaked until I finally got them right. I attribute this to not having things dry enough (oil free) when I installed them...oil them after they're torqued.
