the stuff we use above is meant to be seriously expensive but basically any anearobic sealant is ok, i've also used Wellseal in the past. And Sam's correct,you can't buy seals for S rocker covers sadly.

mine came in a smaller tube but looks to be the same stuff. loads left after doing sump and 16v rockers.

sump required 2-3mm layer.

rockers required wafer thin layer just covering the old seals.

it sticks like sh1t to blanket tho so take care with it. its hard to clean up!

We use this at work and it seems to satisfy the warranty wankers
