Default Perpetual valve cover leaks...

Despite the fact that I performed an exhaustive search on this forum for gasket replacement how-to threads, and found much good advice, I still have a leak.

I bought Moroso steel frame and rubber gaskets that cost a bunch, was told by the motorhead behind the counter that no sealer was necessary, just clean everything up, and torque the bolts to about 5 ft lbs. ( 60 inch lbs ) One side is fine, except for some slight weeping up through the bolt threads, but the right side has oil on top of the headers after only 20 miles. I see oil working its way out the bolts as well on this side too.

Holy cow, what does it take to make this problem go away ?
