What do the rest of you BBC guys do for valve covers? I pulled the set off our Nova this morning, and half of the drippers were bent...some just slightly, but others darn near pulled the spot welds loose. I knew they didn't fit worth a piss when I put 'em on, but I've been down this road before with repro covers and before when I got 'em on they did fine. Well, not this set! I'm runnin' the factory valvetrain, with the exception of a set of posi-locks. On our Camaro I tried running a set of repro covers that didn't have drippers and preceded to bust a couple of rockers, and the bolt holes in the 2nd repro set I tried didn't match those in the head and had to be forced on/off, so I put the originals back on...they look like dung, but they fit, and the drippers are correct. No idea where we got this latest set of covers, but I'm half tempted to send 'em back...
So, what does everyone else do here?
