is it OK to use this in combination with a cork gasket on my rocker cover? Bastard thing keeps leaking oil, so I picked up a new rocker cover today at the salvage yard, and already have a new gasket and bolts.

Greasing it? Never heard of this before, Last time I just fired on the gasket, but its started to leak, so im thinking instant gasket will help?

you need to grease cork gaskets before fitting them...

Normally I give gaskets a smear of copper grease along the surface, usually helps.
