MG TD TF 1500 - leaking valve/rocker cover gasket

Restoring 54 mgtf. Bought Moss cork valve/rocker cover gasket. Oil oozes out of it. Is there a trick to solving this?

Ed,

Some people super glue the exposed edge, sealing the cork. If it is oozing out from the valve cover or the head interface, you've got a flatness issue.

warmly,

try this for a gasket. Itis somewhat expensive but well worth the money. I have one on now and no leaks. http://roadstergaskets.com/products.html
