Valve cover seems flat. I`ve flattened the screw hole dimples. I have NOT overtightened. IPD washers are in place. Gasket is new cork.

Leaks at rear acute angle of valve cover. I am about to commit sacrilege of a gasket sealer! I`d try IPD alloy cover if I wasn`t so cheap. My cover must be warped somehow, right?

Any suggestions before I break out the RTV? Techniques for checking flatness/adjusting of gasket surface?

Many thanks!
