Re: stripped a valvecover stud what to do
what i would do is remove all bolts as if you where taking the valve cover off. stick a flat head screwdriver in between the valve cover and head and force the valve cover up against the stud while turning it as if you where taking it off. the cover will force the stud up onto some threads. well it worked for me before

It doesnt matter if you broke a stud on the valve cover, but if you care that much you can drill it out and retap it.
