..speaking of the step between the head and the intake, I found something that works real well there. Get some brake clean and some "Right Stuff" (RTV alternative). Clean the head and intake at the "step" with the brake clean. Put a small amount of Right Stuff on the tip of your index finger and prime the head and intake surface, then build up and level the step between the intake and head. Let it cure overnight before reinstalling the valve cover w/gasket. I've not had a valve cover leak since I started doing that. I prefer the thick cork valve cover gasket too.
