Default KRE timing cover problems?

Has anybody ever had any issues with the Kauffman timing covers? I can’t get everything to seat and sandwich itself together without nearly 1/4 gap on the one side.

KRE timing cover
Butler SS divider plate
New tubes with new gaskets

Pop the tubes out and divider plate and gaskets sandwich together fine, put one or both in and then have issues.

I coated the back of the tubes with some marker fluid, held them in place, then spun them around to see if there were high spots. Here’s what I found in the pics.

Did this just miss being machined or just a bad casting maybe? I’d hate to touch them up and make too much slop and not get a good seal.
