A PO (honestly, it was not me
) installed an improperly clocked alternator on my '70 454 which caused its ground bolt to dig into the front corner of the valve cover. This caused a dent and small hairline crack ~1/2" long in the VC.
I removed the dent, and cosmetically the VC looks almost perfect (plus the damaged spot is hidden behind the alternator when installed). But the crack remains which weeps oil. I've lived with it this way for years, but it's time to fix it.
How can this be repaired? The VCs are original so I'd like to keep them.
