Anyone ever try bead blasting the valve-cover gasket surface? This will give the gasket a surface it can "bite" into.

As Power Surge said, 3M's "gorilla snot" between the valve cover and gasket will hold it in place, but it is a bear to get the old gasket material off when replacing gaskets. Stops leaks, though.
