I don't think I'd worry about the valve cover bolt honestly. Two will hold it down enough I'd think.

^ Lol!

Damn sorry to hear about all your problems. I'm sure you'll get it all worked out.

At least it doesn't seem to get you down.

yea, its one thing after another with this thing. It should be just about done. i'm trying to stay positive b/c I'm looking forward to seeing the results. It does hurt that its not done yet though.

Next time I do a build I will tear it down fully and check everything out
