Of the 2 covers I own heating and lightly trying to get it real straight is not quite what I like.My question is can I apply some body filler to the cover or will the heat off the engine disagree?  | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,897 Member | | Member Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,897 | You might try looking in the swap meet here on the Stovebolt page.I am sure someone will contact you or know someone who will most likely know where to find a good straight valve-cover. 
There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!

I cut the flange off of two and the top off of two then welded them back together. This made two tall old style valve covers that would fit the late model engines. I used lots of Bondo due to welding with a gas welded. With my new mig, I could of got away with a lot less. I never had a problem with it.

Mix it up and spread it like Bondo.Then sand and or file it smooth. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 394 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 394 | I sure wan't to thank all of you, for your time and help.This here forum is the only way to go for help on any of your questions, problems etc. etc..
