Does anyone use any sealant for the rocker cover gaskets? If so what type did you use?

They don't need sealant...just oil up the gasket like you would before putting on a new oil filter.
On my st204 5sfe rocker/valve cover I use toyota oem FIPG sealant only.

Permatex Ultra-grey is nearly identical or is identical. I used it on my 2ZZ valve cover and it looked/felt just like the factory sealant from Japan.

Fipg is better than the permatex stuff imo.
Either that, or Honda-bond, the Honda equivalent of Fipg.
