| I'm looking for a passenger side valve cover for a 1990 Olds Custom Cruiser 307 V8. The one on the car is warped and leaking due to years of over-torquing.
Thanks, Steve | |

| Hammer and a flat surface (big vise) will have that cover straight as an arrow. Metal wants to go back to where it was. | |

| My son thought his valve cover was bad for same reason, and he tried it twice. Then i told him your not doing it right, your rushing, so i did it and it was fine, hasn't leaked since.
They need to take there time, or try another shop.unless of course valve cover is split or something.

| If the metal is flat (easy to do), and there is a good new gasket... they are over torquing (also easy to do). This is one of those "do it yourself, do it right" jobs. | |

| They were hesitant to use my cork gaskets but since their rubber one didn't work they did. Guess what? Not leaking finally! | |

| You don't. People will just ignore it and eventually it will disappear as other threads are made. | |
