Can you feel a ridge with your finger? Probably just a flaw in the casting. If its not leaking I wouldnt worry about it

Agreed. Ran out and took a quick photo of mine for you.

I'd be concerned how far that goes, a new valve cover gasket is ~$15USD and I would think this is one of those problems that may get drastically more expensive if ignored.

Hmm so do you think i should change that valve cover? Or just the gasket?
I have no idea

The casting flaw would only go up to the deck where the gasket sits and then would have been milled down during production. If its not leaking, I would leave it alone and not worry about it

So it wouldnt affect anything like performance or something?(if its not leaking)
