Chris,

When I did mine, one valve cover had a gasket and the other did not. The one without the gasket had the worse leak. I'm pretty sure GM used gaskets, so this was obviously a PO repair at some point. I used FelPro rubber gaskets with a thin film of Gray permatex RTV applied to both sides. Be careful not to over tighten the screws.
