OR, maybe it just hasn't had the time to seep through yet... I hadn't
thought about the warpage issue, but with something like 12 bolts holding it
on, I'm assuming that warpage of the cover wouldn't be that much of an issue
as it would be for let's say heads or an intake... Either way, it doesn't
leak now so I'm all smiles.
