Default Warped DOD Delete Valley Cover

I need a DOD delete valley cover for my LS3 build. The GM12598832 seems to be out of stock everywhere. I ordered a random one off Amazon. It was cast aluminum and pretty warped. I sent it back and ordered the Summit brand one from Summit... still not perfect but much better than the one from Amazon. It flattens out when I tighten the bolts using the gaskets.

Is this normal for a cast version of this port? There's an AC Delco cast one on Summit for 3x the price, but I'm not sure if its worth it.

My main concern is that the oil port seals (for the DOD delete) won't work and I get an internal oil leak causing me problems


Thanks,
Sal

I have a DOD delete valley cover from a ? LS engine. It has the bosses for the o-rings but does not have the PCV assembly typical on the LS3's. GM part # 12598833.
If you can use it $50 shipped in Conus.
If you are interested PM me with your phone number and I can send you pics.
