Thanks for the warm welcome back guys. It's nice to have something to have a car to work on and fix up again. I didn't get as far as I would have liked to tonight with the valve cover, but we did successfully weld the crack. The previous owner tried to seal the crack using rtv which not only didn't work, but also caused a ton of extra work for me cleaning the vc before we were able to weld the crack. The weld is nothing too pretty, but it covers the crack and hopefully will stop the oil leakage. I plan on sandblasting the vc at work on monday and powdercoating it myself.
And goodhart, I'd much rather get rid of all this "Mr." mumbo jumbo and stick with HiImBrian
