 I'm hoping to eliminate oil leaks by seating these CAM covers properly once and for all.

I bought the rubber cam cover gaskets from the club boutique and started reading all the topics here relating to this subject.

One of the postings suggests to put the gaskets on dry. However, I noticed that the cam head mating surface is very rough.  In fact, some of the spots are much higher than others. This does not look normal to me. 

Shouldn't these surfaces be really smooth in order for the gaskets to seat properly? 

If so, what is the best way to make them smooth? ...how about using a file to smooth it out?

 

I am eagerly awaiting feedback on this subject.
