I swear on all things big and small...... If you're right, I'm gonna stab myself with the Phillips screwdriver that fixes it!

Thanks for the suggestions. I may end up trying an after market black cover such as a Roland Sands or similar. They are metal and not plastic, same as chrome. That could be the issue, plastic distorts and doesn't tighten evenly???
The breather hole in the new cover is different and can only go one direction. I have it pointed in the right direction.
