More Stroker Pictures and some questions?

Problem Solved. I installed the FelPro double rubber impregnated cork with the steel gasket in the center. These are like 3/16" thick. They are expensive but they got the covers to sit up plenty enough to clear the intake. I glued them to the cover with permatex gasket cement and was hoping to leave the gasket to head surface dry so I can remove the valve covers in the future without ruining the gaskets which go for almost 50 bucks. Hope that will work. As for the gasket showing, I just took some flat black engine paint and painted the gaskets edge flat black. Blends right in. Should I pu a luight coat or motor oil on the gasket to head surface to get a good seal?
