More likely that you need to a) clear the breather system - how to in maint guides and b) replace the rocker gaskets with genuine VX and not copies.  Again, howto in maint guides...

The covers very rarely warp, but do get over tightened by those inexperienced in the Omega.  Torque is only 8NM which is barely nipped up....  :y

Have the covers gone or is it just the gaskets that need changing? if so do the breathers as well or you'll be changing again in a short while.  :y

Plenty of help on here if you want to DIY it  :)

Betean to it by H21, also post up were your from may be some help locally if your not that handy with the spanners  ;D
