I just went back and reread your post. You're takling the side cover, and I was talking the valve cover.

Since the side cover is rarely removed, you can glue both sides of the gasket. I have been using Permatex #3 lately, seems to work pretty good. Everyone and their dog has their own opinion on gasket adhesive, I just don't like using rtv with cork gaskets.
