Sonofa... I cracked my rocker cover...

[slydog75]

Ok, so I thought I had a 470 with no leaks at all after changing the head gasket and fixing the coolant leak it had. but now I'm leaking oil because I apparently made one of the screws on the rocker cover to tight (Who has an inchLb torque wrench.. really!) I tried fixing it with jbweld but it didn't work. So now I need a new rocker cover. Where can I find one? I've checked here and Breezeworks with no luck.

Good answer. And I'll be picking one up before I put the new one on (if I can find one)!

Are you using your calibrated wrist to achieve specified torque?
When the bolts loosen up, "Stupid bolts!"

A speed or racing shop should be able to get one for a Ford 460 head or your local junkyard

Harbor Freight, $20

I wasn't going to chance the trucks transmission valve body with my calibrated wrist
