Rocker covers

It would be unusual to put any sealant in, I think.

However, it does seem quite hard ti get them to a point where there is no leakage at all.  (Or at least it seems quite hard on both my H series engines).

I'd say the gaskets are fairly reusable f not sealed, but many sealants would probably make it hard to reuse them if the covers had to come off for any reason.

If you wanted "belt & braces"you could seal the gaskets to the cyl head with some thing like Hylomar & leave the rocker cover side with a very light grease smear future removal should leave the gasket intact on the head The trinity house Jk/s lighthouse generators were so treated

I have had good results by using heldite jointing compound fastening gasket into the rocker cover only comes on and off well and doesn't particularly leak oil assuming a good quality gasket is used I like the dark grey power gasket type personally
