One thing is to be sure the bonnet has enough arch in the middle.  I
reformed mine a bit by shutting it on a piece of wood.  An extra gasket
between the hinge & cowl will help too.  Last is to be sure the vent lid
sits down where it belongs, some of the aftermarket gaskets for it are too
big and force it to sit too high.
