I use Permatex Aviation sealer. Sealing at the bottom allows for a bit more height. If you don't use any sealer, they'll leak and if you do use sealer they may still leak. Straighten the valve cover sealing surfaces well and while they're not technically correct I use spreaders to help make sure they seal.
