sometimes on older stock valve covers,you get a "DIMPLE" on the bottom of the valve cover from the bolts being to tight,,,,you can flatten them out with a piece of wood,,,also the lip around the edge of the valve cover that is closest to the heads gets bent out,It should be straight...you can try to straighten them if theyre TWEEKED,,just a thought,,,,,, i did it too my oil pan jeff,,,,
