Default do I need a new valve cover?

I unfortunately let myself get distracted and cut the inside of the valve cover. I was in the process of cutting it for adjustable cam gears. Am I now going to have to buy a new valve cover? Think when the gasket seats down in there some extra rtv would do the trick? Sorry for the pic quality.

I'd imagine you'll be fine...the gasket should take care of that.

Nice move there slick... I would use the Honda bond or similar material. I think it will be just fine. If not, we will just switch it with Justin when he is not looking...
