I guess cover was the wrong word..its the o-ring that goes between the housing and cyl. head.

If you still have the old o-ring, you can take it and the housing to the plumbing section of a hardware store and likely find something that works.
I was able to find o-rings that fit the tappet covers so I didn't have to use the lame gaskets that came in the kit.
They will likely only have inch sizes but in cases like these they are usually close enough. Just make sure it's roughly the same thickness. It needs to stretch a bit to fit over the housing so you have a lot of leeway in the OD size.
