What I did. It works on my truck but no guarantees on yours. As Jerry suggests straighten the flange, then apply a coat of your favorite high tack gasket product to the very clean and straight valve cover and stick your new (correct) gasket to the valve cover. I like KW Copper Coat for a high tack gasket sealer. Then smear Vaseline on the clean head area the gasket seals to. Then I used a gasket in a tube product on the headside of the gasket now firmly stuck to the valve cover. Did this Two years ago, removed a couple times since with no problem and no leaks on the now well seasoned gasket.
