So I'll just cut to the chase, while replacing my valve cover gasket I accidentally dropped my valve cover on the cement floor and chipped a piece off the edge. I attached a picture so you can see. I ended up completing the job and will continue to monitor regularly to see if there is oil leakage. What I learned doing the job: fishing line/dental floss technique is terrible, just buy a can of gasket tack.
Good news: the cover looked very clean compared to most I've seen on the internet (also attached a picture). I'm not an expert on how camshafts are supposed to look so I attached an image. They seem to look fine to me. What are your thoughts?

Just noticed the extremely poor photo quality, I'm sorry for this but I can assure you it's the site compressing them. The originals were taken with my iPhone 7, they looked great.
