I don't normally use sealant on the head side of the gasket anyway. I wipe it with new engine oil and put it on and tighten the cover screws. That oil will soak into the cork and make it swell, making for an excellent seal.
BTW, you should be able to run a 235 at 450 RPM until the engine is warmed up without the valve cover on without leaking any oil.
