   jus spread it on like its glue and make sure its constant with no gaps in the line of sealent. Its easy enough to polish your rockers yourself btw.

   I got some loctite gasket sealant from Halfords (£16.99)
   Worked really well
   
   Make sure both surfaces are nice and clean (little bif of WD40 does the trick)
   Squeeze a nice thick layer right around and double up on the wider layers of the head
   Wait 10-15 minutes for the sealant to dry a little
   Stick the covers back on
   Wait about half hour and then screw the covers fully down
   
   If you stick the covers on straight away and tighten the bolts, it will crush the sealant and it won't seal properly
   
   I did the above and not a single leak all the way round
