[Healeys] Rocker Cover Poll

[John Vrugtman]

The way I fix this is to adhere the gasket to the cover, then place it 
on a very flat surface with a weight on each nut to simulate when 
installed.  Then go around the edge with a .003 feeler gauge.  Where 
there is no resistance I carefully us a rubber hammer to tap down that 
edge, eventually getting contact all the way around.
