Apparently, lots have score marks where they had the covers in jigs waiting
to
have the bolt holes punched. Looks like they brought the punch down to the
covers only to realize the measurement was off. These score marks were
causing
mine to leak even through the new style rubber-lined steel shim gaskets.
Just
put a dab of Mopar black (or equiv.) silicone on those score marks and it'll
all
be good to go.>>

Thanks for the tip.
