Open Gear grease is used out in the fields on large, open gears that have to endure weather, heat, moisture, etc. You don't have to use the exact brand I use, just Google "Open Gear Lube" and you'll see there are various brands. The beauty of it is that once you put it down, it won't harden, it won't melt, it won't run, it won't be affected by
oil, it just sits there -- and makes a beautiful seal for your valve covers. Plain old axle grease is good, but Open Gear grease is two steps past it. It will be exactly the same five years and 50,000 miles from now as it is today. Just don't get it on your skin and don't breathe the vapors.
