Say what?
If you are asking about rtv for valve cover sealing here is my advice, get some of those new rubber looking valve cover gaskets, skim a coat of rtv to hold the gasket to the valve cover and after a few minutes bolt the 'em down.
Don't use cork.

I second that. Get the metal ones with the rubber seals.

I installed a set a decade ago and never had leaks even after taking them on and off a few times

I think they're a little easier to get off

The felpro neoprene blue gaskets are the absolute best reusable gaskets you'll ever find. No rtv needed and they should be in stock at the local parts stores.
