I scraped off the gasket, which was Black ATV gasket. I used my little body hammer and knocked out the dings on the edge. The dings looked like someone had lifted up to get the cover plate off. Instead of pushing the handle of the screwdriver towards the front. I was able to get it fairly straight. I put more black rtv bead in to use as the gasket. I bolted the cover back on. I plan to put new oil after 24 hours.
