hi Chris!
You should be able to install with very little, but some, adhesive silicon seal or the like. First make sure that your valve cover is very clean. this is one of the few places I recommend carb cleaner or brake cleaner! LOL
after everything is clean and dry, both the cover and the mount surface of the head. you can put a dab of the adhesive on the points on the valve before and after the humps, and at the 90 degree angles of the cover. down the straight you will see pairs of offset intrusions into the channel, the good brand of gasket will stay in there when pressed.
Thoughts, did you change the rubber chain guide in the cover? if it is hard (try to scratch with a pointed tool, and awl or a scribe) and acts like plastic... suggest you replace it. engine will be much quieter, there are two versions, order and put the correct one it place
shoot pictures and post!
