I was told to use 4043 filler in valve covers.. I know this isn't going to help your problem but i had a cover crack on me and was told it was due to me using 5356 rod

Thinking about it some more I have a theory as to why it got so bad. When I first started this VC i attempted to weld the bung on the outside first. In doing that is it possible that I pulled the oil through the aluminum from the inside out and in a sense, completely saturating it all the way through?

it doesn't matter which side you start from, the oil will surface regardless of which side you start welding on. I only weld the front side of valve covers. Just heat the aluminum in like the above people are suggesting. I think you're thinking too much.

I agree. But It is pretty frustrating when you can't figure out why your weld puddle is crap.

Just follow the advice given here and you should be golden!

Just take it to a powder coating shop and have them run it through their burn out oven.
