Aftermarket valve covers

By aftermarket, I mean the tall aluminum or chrome center-bolt ones. Anyone get these to seal right? I've heard several people having problems getting them to seal correctly.

I'm mounting the alternator low, so that's not a problem. I just want to get plenty of clearance for shaft mounts, should I go that route.

I've got the Fab'd aluminum ones from summit (centerbolt). They have a slight leak to them. If i had it to do over I wouldn't have purchased them.

I have Holley Centerbolt Polished Aluminum Valve Covers, they are about a half an inch taller than the factory ones, so I had to grind the alternator some to get a proper fit, but they look great, and they fit right over my proform rockers...
