I have a crack in my valve cover around one of the screws in the spark plug valley thing. Problem is a new valve cover is being shipped but its my DD and I have 0 other way to work.
Would I be able to just JB weld most of the crack and drive like that? I can't jbweld around the bolt or I will never be able to unscrew it but most of the crack should be good for DDing for a couple weeks no?
Would I do it with the valve cover on since I won't be able to reuse the gasket if I take it off?
any danger in driving this way, I check my oil ever day and even when it was leaking hard it wasn't losing enough to affect the engine.

) still no leaks. and that sees more preassure than a valve cover.
