99339, Am I screwed or what?

The threads in my cylinder head that hold the valve cover down are stripped out. What can I possibly do to get my valve cover to seal? Thanks again.

Which threads? All of them? or just one or 2? Have you tried getting a tap that matches the bolts and chasing the threads in the head? You could also try to helicoil them, or drill them slightly bigger and tap them with a larger bolt.

Yea... I just thought of that... I looked at the bolts and I thought they were used to seal the valves cover, but sure enough they are replaceable... I am tapping it tomorrow and getting some new bolts. Easy fix - my bad.
