Exclamation Valve Cover Oil Leaks

I have a '65 with a 390 V8 Engine. I wanted to replace the valve covers because of oil leaks. I purchased a set of Edelbrock Valve covers and Felpro rubber gaskets. I have tried everything and have not been able to conquer the oil leak issues. I've managed to get the cover on the passenger side to seal up, but the driver's side will not. I've gone through different gaskets and tried both the old and new covers. I've done my level best to ensure that every surface is clean and free of any oil or dirt. Today I just went to Mac's auto parts and bought a set of chrome covers manufactured to original specs and yet another set of gaskets. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help!
