So I was getting ready to to a VCG replacement (along with some other stuff) and I noticed this (see picture). Now before I open her up I wonder, do I need a new valve cover? Is mine warped or do they all look like this. From what I could see doing a picture search I do see this a lot. So my question to this group is this, am I warped? What does yours like?

Thanks for any and all responses/comments!
