Re: Valve Cover Gasket
You might consider the silicon valve cover gaskets. IME they seal better & are reusable. The cork gaskets are a PITA to remove and eventually leak.
For our parallel valve Lycoming IO360 engines:
OEM p/n: 75906-SP, Aircraft Spruce p/n: 05-11181. $9.50 each: link.

Re: Valve Cover Gasket
FYI, Lycoming just released new silicone rocker cover gasket part numbers. For our engines the new p/n's are 06B26669.
Service letter L272A lists both cork & silicone gaskets with installation instructions: Link to L272A PDF
Note that the silicone gaskets use significantly less torque (35 vs. 50 in-lb).

Re: Valve Cover Gasket
Another vote for the silicone. Much better for R&R and never leak whereas the cork always does. One note of caution: (OK, two) clean the cork off well and don't guess at the torque settings for the silicone gaskets. Getting leak free performance requires very little torque. Too much and they can leak after R&R
