Can you post a picture of it? I've actually had a lot of success in the past just taking a razor blade and running it through the threads to clear them out and straighten.

It doesn't hold fluid so I'd probably fix it with a file or a 10an thread die if you can find one and just be really careful threading it back together.

Re: crossthreaded 10an fitting on valve cover
i can cut it off but i dont want to use that port anymore. i have four parts of on my valve cover and i want to cap off the back two now. i might just get a steel cap and tie it down with that with some teflon

You want a 7/8" - 14 SAE die. Search amazon for "7/8" 14 SAE die" and you'll find a bunch.
