CAP CYLINDER HEAD SIDE - sticks out, worry?

[Ulvetanna_imp]

For the record I didn't remove the packing (gasket), I left it in place and reinstalled the cover, just as I've done with many bikes over the years. The gasket doesn't wear so if you don't tear it up doing the R&R there should be no reason to replace it. Those things are not cheap. Has not leaked a bit.

Be sure to torque it to spec though.
