I straighten the covers before sanding them smooth. The more metal you remove from the cover the worse the problem will be.
I use a piece of steel about 1/4 inch thick by 1/2 inch wide to make a reinforcement bar to keep the gasket from being blown again. Use the bar to span the cover over the area where the gasket blows out. You will have to notch it a little in the middle to clear a rib in the cover.
