I use as little gasket cement on the cover as possible to hold the gasket in the cover. I bought a big red tube of the loctite 518 but it cost around $15 and you probably have to have a lot to do to justify it. A cheaper way is a couple/six spots of weatherstrip adhesive just to hold the gasket...you're not interested in using the stuff as a sealer (it won't).
don't torque the itty bitty bolts to 14-20 foot lbs for gawd's sake.
I torque using an inch-lb wrench, use some blue loctite, and torque to about 11 lb-ft or 15Nm for the M8 bolts on a B202 engine (twin cam).
