Valve Cover Gasket Sealing Issue

Have you tried to put the valve covers on a flat table to see if they rock or are flat?

So you have a spare set of valve covers that you may test fit to see if they do the same thing?

I know it's kinda hard to beleive, but I put a straight edge on my heads and it was a full 1/8 inch or so gradual rise from the ends of the heads to the center on both sides of both heads.
