1969 Roadrunner 440 valve cover and gaskets

Can't get covers to stop leaking. Anyone recommend and good set of covers and gaskets?

Unfortunately the as-cast surface on our heads is NOT FLAT. If you have a really bad pair of heads, the only thing
you can do is clean the surface with carb cleaner and use "Great Stuff" on the head and the valve cover. You'll
have a rough time getting them off later, but they won't leak anymore. If you ever have the heads off, have the
gasket surface milled flat. That will fix it right.

OE cast heads, aluminum heads, help us out?

Stock cast.. good old cork, straight bend free covers and no sealant required.

Common problem once you get away from the factory originals - or have replaced the gaskets which you obviously have.
