The newer covers will not hold in your oil lines that run over the cams in the head(this is on the early type) and DO NOT attempt to install the fatter gasket into the older cover. I learned the hard way. I didnt know it was the wrong one and one time it just did not fit right, i had to use a special glue to keep it in and then it got torn up while torquing down because it's too big. The second time, I thought i had the right gasket this time, it fit better but was the fatter gasekt. It's only 2mm difference you know. The gasket did not seat correctly into the groove and when torquing down, i cracked the valve cover! Good luck :) You live and learn right?
