What I have done for years is use a cheap cork gasket sprayed with 2 coats silver spray paint. This seals it and prvents it fronm absorbing oil.
Then glue it in plce with 3 m weatherstrip adhesive to the vlve cover and a coat of anti seize on the head side.
Never had one fail or leak yet, even when frequently removed to set the valves.
