I see, torque specs are such that it is hard to seal a warped cover. Since it won't seal as it is I would set it on a flat surface and see how bad it is then see if I could heat it enough to correct it. Have no idea if it would work but I would try it. Other than that I would keep looking for a stock used cover.
