When I first installed the front top timing case cover, I noticed its a good ~ 1/16 to 1/8" taller than the head.
The head was resurfaced, but this was done professionally and they said that very very little came off the head, not even a sixteenth. I didnt think to give them the head with the timing cover so it could be shaved. That being said, just looking at the cover, I dont think that much could be scraped off the cover safely anyways.
Instead, I think I need to somehow crush the rubber gasket between the two. I only have two hands and Im trying to push down with all my might but I cant get the damn thing level.
Anyone else run in to this? Should I use silicone gasket across the valve cover gasket and make sure its sealed? Or is there a trick to this.
