Haha, thanks! Gotta love heat and the use of strategic force!
I knew an amazing body man from a local shop years ago who once told me stamped metal has the memory of it’s stamped shape. It just needs the right coaxing to bring it back.
Ever since that conversation I’ve been doing my best to coax out the memory whenever body work is needed.

I added the breather vent to the front in the hopes of balancing out the pressure inside the engine.
At this point I don’t know if the pressure blew the gasket, or the 40ish year old valve cover had just seen better days (the plastic ones were marginal to begin with).
