Valve cover gaskets

I am having a problem with my valve cover gaskets. I replaced them, because they were leaking. Now after doing that. They are still leaking. Is there a special way of doing this. Do I use RTV and should of I bought new valve covers. Please help me out on this one. thanks
 
When I replaced the gaskets in my car, I used a new pair of Felpro Rubber gaskets. I'm not sure but I think there's a specific sequence and torque rating for intalling the studs on the covers. If you tightened them too much, you probably crushed the gasket, causing it to leak again. I've heard of people who use RTV in conjunction with the gaskets, which apparently works just fine. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will answer your questions definitively.
