Question about valve cover flange
When fab'ing your own valve covers, can the flange be a flat piece? Stock covers usually curve down over the lip on the head. Is this necessary to prevent leaking, or can a flat piece be used for the flange?

The lip helps keep the gasket in place when you are bolting it on. If you use studs it probably won't matter, just be careful in the corners and ends when you tighten it down.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
