Is it normal for the cylinder head cover to have a little bow in it? When I set it on the cylinder head without a gasket it rocks back and forth about 1/32" or so. The head seems flat- its the cover that's warped. Is this to be expected?

I had one that rocked but used it for some time. Just start on the center inside bolts and work your way out alternating sides. I did end up replacing it though.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

It's probably rocking on the tach gears. those gears need to mate properly while you seat the cover or they may be damaged. rotate the gear from where the cable attached as you put it on and you should be good.Comment

No, tach gear is not in the cover.
Just for the heck of it, I started to bolt the cover down without the gasket to see if it would straighten out. With just the 4 inside bolts holding it down it went straight. I think when all 16 are on it will be fine. Just kinda surprized that it had a bend in it.Comment
