Post subject:  Valve cover question

Last summer I brought my motor to gator tail to get some worked heads put on. Well the first time I took the valve covers off to set my lash I notice one of the bolts for the valve cover was about a quarter inch longer then the rest and when I put the cover back on it was stripped out. I ran it like that for a while and I was able to keep it tight but I eventually strip one of the other bolts from over tightening. My question is has anyone ever helicoiled those wholes? Or can I tap it to the next biggest size?

Was it the breather side? And then it started leaking oil? Same thing just happened with mine.

Yes it is the breather side, and it has a little oil at the corner but it's not dripping or running down yet
