I will join the ranks of leaving the Blue in the store. Have heard good things about "the right stuff".
I have always used Red Hi Temp RTV with good success.
There are a couple of tips I will suggest. For valve covers I use the proper cork gasket with a light coat on both sides. Usually you need the thickness of the cork to provide clearance and make a good seal.
Couple other tips I that seem to make a huge difference. Cleanliness is a absolute must. I am not talking wiping it off with a rag here. I use aresol carb cleaner and after that don't touch the part with anything till the RTV is applied, even the oil from your skin can cause problems. Other is a hint a old timer gave me, let the stuff skin over lightly. If you are wiping on a thin layer on a regular gasket by the time you get stuff ready to assemble and wipe your hands off it will be skinned over. if you laid a bead you should grab a quick sip of your favorite beverage and then assemble.
