During last weekend's autocross I had a problem with my oil filler cover coming off the “neck” of the engine case. I made the oil filler cover pictured below a few years ago because I didn’t like the stock tin piece and I wanted something with some bling. It never gave me a problem until last weekend but it did leak some oil once an awhile. The problem was the stock bale wire spring didn’t apply enough pressure on the gasket so give a good seal. I thought there must be something else I can do.

It would appear you've tightened your plate so tight it's warped it, putting too much pressure on the ends, and hardly any in the middle. If I were doing this (and I probably wouldn't), I would have made the angle plates proud of the top of the boss on the case halves (say, 2.3 the thickness of the gasket), and secured it so the gasket would be slightly and evenly crushed. Besides that, I would never misuse JB Weld that way. It has a nasty habit of deteriorating under those conditions.
