Take the cover and extended oil cap neck off, put the cap on and get the valve cover changed. Put the stuff back on when you are done.
When I thought about this recall I thought it may make "partial" sense because the extended neck is a lever. I do realize the original gasket is cheap junk which may be more the root issue. But not sure keeping the long neck would be a good idea.
