Would you consider the rubber rocker cover gaskets reusable perhaps with a light smear of hylomar about to refit my covers and just trying to save a trip to dealers 15 mile away

It would depend on the age and condition of the gasket.

In theory, rubber ones should mould themselves to any irregularities but if they are a bit on the aged side or gone through a number of hot/cold cycles then they become less flexible.

There is only one test of course.

But there are some things which you should always change and I reckon rocker cover gaskets are one of them. Many places give 'next day delivery'.
