When I restored my 300F, I used cork gaskets.   Result was lots of oil leakage.  No more will I use cork gaskets.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Hemi Valve Cover Gasket advice needed

What do the experienced advise regarding valve cover gaskets for the '57 hemi engine?

I called our local NAPA and the gentleman I talked to did not come up with a reference number for these. When I look online I see that perhaps Felpro may make what I need, and that Summit or JEGS may be the seller for them.

I also question whether to go with with standard cork gaskets, or to look for silicone rubber ones. All the photos I have seen of silicone gaskets show them in a bright blue. That would look way out of place on a car from the '50s, so unless someone makes them in clear I would lean to using the good old cork ones.

What advice and thoughts am I offered?

Thank you.
