You should not have to change the rocker cover if it's that new. If you ask your local dealer for them they are quite cheap.

If the rocker cover gasket is damaged it should be changed.The 'half moon' seals are pennies from the dealer and are best fitted with a smear of grease.

Speaking from my own experience, after trying to re use a 1 week old rocker cover gasket, I would never try to again
