I broke the bolts when i was installing my valve covers. Now they are leaking. I was wondering if you guys know where I can buy a stud kit with nuts instead of bolts for the valve covers. If not the bolts will be fine, or T-handle bolts for the vavle covers. Thanks. I have the ford racing cobra black valve covers if that makes a difference. Thanks

First off did you get the old bolts out? Then you can get some arp fasteners or the t handle ones. How tight are you tightening them? Sounds like you went a little crazy.

i did the same thing a few months ago. changed vc's and they kept leaking. a little tighter.....snap! bolts were too long because the vc's were thinner than the prev ones. got a moroso stud kit from local speed shop. like 13.00

It doesn't take much to overdue on the valve cover bolt tightening especially with cork gaskets because you feel like you can keep going I did it

www.50resto.com sells a stock valve cover bolt kit
