The old LA motors leaked like crazy which is why Mopar went to the different design on the magnum.
Steel covers are especially prone to warpage.
It's not that you can't seal them, just that sooner or later, they'll start leaking. Count on it.

why place them upside down, take a magnum gasket and lay it on the sealing surface, mark the missing holes- and tap those rascals? Am I missing something here?
Yes you are
Where the bolts go in the main body of the valve cover is reccessed back(indented).
Look at mine then compare to the LA, wont work at all.
Probably less leakage with the alum LA covers than stamped steelies.
The alum covers are not flexible like stamped steel.
