Default Carbon Fiber LS1/6 valve covers that do not leak?

We had bad problems with Katech ones in the past. Anyone using any that do not leak?

Thank you

Do you have excessive crankcase pressure? I have a set of CF valve covers from so many years ago I don't remember who made them. They leaked before I fixed my PCV setup, but not a drop since. Seriously, valve covers should never be under any pressure whatsoever, so combined with the O-ring style gasket, they should never leak.
