Sheet metal valve covers often become distorted from over-tightening. Remove the covers and flatten the area around the bolt holes with hammer & dolly.

Sure thing.
 Your "dolly" can be anything. For this procedure I typically employ a piece of steel bar stock clamped in a vice.

Use a good sealant after you straiten them. just barely bolt them down and let the sealant set then tighten the bolts(just barely) and USE lock tight so they don't back out. And spreaders if you have them.
