I over tightened the vavle cover bolts, I read 30 ft-lb so i set it up and tighten them, and it flatten three, before I noticed what was going on. I looked again it failed to notice 30 in-lb was what it said.

What do i do? can I removed the bots and reshap the cover? or do I have to get a new cover? I did flatten spots on front cover. Thank you

I would personally just replace it. I mean it's not that expensive. Instead of trying to reshape it and messing it up even more, might as well just get a new one.

Use this website for where you live to find the closest and cheapest part for you.

Hope that helps.

There's no such thing as too much re-assurance;)
