Alright I feel really dumb asking this, but I need to. I just changed my valve cover gaskets on my car (second time). I still think that I am getting a little bit of oil leakage at higher rpms. My question is how tight can I tighten the valve cover bolts. I have the Fel-Pro Permatex/Permaseal (not sure which is the right name) valve cover gaskets and they have a steel insert in them. Thanks in advance.

Those are great valve cover gaskets - not much you can do since they have the ferrules in the rubber bosses.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
