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.<br>
