where can i get a new set of valve cover bolts? I painted my valve covers and noticed the bolts are very corroded. I tried cleaning them in some CLR. Bad idea, that crap took off the zinc wash on the bolts down to the bare metal. I'm sure they will now rust. I cant find anywhere to get the bolts with the stud on top of them for the wiring harness to attach to. Any ideas where to get them local or online?
