Re: Valve cover leak...
Did not use the Ultra Black RTV sealant, but would suggest you follow the directions as stated on the sealant. Makes sense to allow the RTV to "set-up" a little by waiting an hour before tightening to proper torque value. This would reduce the likelihood of extruding the sealant from various locations & preventing a strong & effective gasket from forming. I essentially followed this procedure when I performed my repair back in 2010.
