Message:   On some Poly's over the years the valve covers get warped. The area where the bolts go through bends down so that bolt heads bottom again covers, and cover bottoms against rocker pedestal before adequate pressure against gasket. Straighteneing the covers against a flat surface at bolts helps.

Also FelPro came up with a much better rubber coated steel gasket that seals better than the old cork type.

Also there's oil drainback holes at lower outside corners of heads, front & rear corners. A brass gun cleaning brush about .38 caliber does a good job of opening them up. Otherwise oil can pool in the head recesses causing leaks and allowing oil to drip past valve guides seals, causing smoke at startup.
