Pelican sells them for I think $50 a set and supposedly reuseable, but they cant be any worse than the paper gaskets. I was thinking about them for my motor upon reassembly.

I got my 911 back from Florida, parked it for a few days, and "wahla", a lot of little spots of oil on the floor. What I thought looked like the valve cover, was actually the oil "tubes" that run from one side to the other. They were leaking, and running down the center, and to the valve covers, only to drop to the floor. My mechanic fixed these oil tubes, and all the leaks stopped right away. I was so glad. So, it might not be the covers, but coming from,"above'. Hope this helps.
