Third weekend in a row I’ve tried to stop a leak. The covers aren’t even warped so I guess I just suck.

Uneven torque?
Dirty threads causing bolts to feel tight before they’re really tight enough?

Like Urambo Tauro said, lube and a 3/4 torque wrench. After that - something is warped somewhere.

at least it’s not a transverse V6!
Is the gasket falling out of place before you can lay it down on the head? This happened to me, so I had to do it over again, but I put a little RTV between the cover and the gasket in a couple places, just enough to keep it attached while I laid it down on the head.

That’s what I did this time. RTV on the cover to hold to gasket in place and bare metal to rubber contact on the block.

They can be. My Taurus requires me to remove the intake plenum to get to the ignition coil. Okay, no problem take it off and remove six individual(supposedly reusable) little gaskets fix stuff and put them back in their seats and replace everything. Massive air leak. Reverse and replace, still exists. Screw it take it to a garage because it must be something else. I get a bill for them replacing the intake gaskets and it solving the problem

I always use cork on older American V8s. Because of the loose tolerances and whatnot, rubber never really seals right.

Whenever this happens to me it’s usually from over-tightening or from reusing washers instead of sourcing new ones. Also as xXG_Body_ManXx suggests, cork sometimes works best on tricky seals.
