removed the valve covers on my 289 (57 GH) for the first time today, in anticipation of my mechanica friend from Michigan flying in this weekend for the holiday, and going to "look it over" for me, check cylinder bore, etc... (though I'm not planning on rebuilding for another year or more probably....)
I noticed some dings in the valve covers. Un-noticed until now and not horrible, but I'm sure they will stick out like a sore thumb with the glossy BLACK after bead-blasting and repainting. Any tips on gently removing these dents? I'm guessing wood dowels, etc...? Too bad I can't putty and fill them like body work. :-)
Or are nice, dent-free 289 valve covers still available somewhere?
Thanks!
Barry
