My method is the same as valve covers..
Straighten the metal, remove debris, wire brush, clean with Acetone or thinner.
Use 3m Yellow Weatherstrip adhesive and a Cork Gasket.
Place on a flat surface and weigh it down for 24 hrs.
Grease the surface of the cork next to the block or heads.
I cannot remember any leaks from this method.
Cork is still used today in Electrical Power Plants in many areas holding back oil. Rubber tends to swell and move about in those applications.
