Get two washers, a piece of threaded rod, and two nuts and instead of pounding on the
valve covers, apply clamp pressure with your device and flatten the covers out gently.
You have created a small valve cover VICE.
Might be the easiest and safest solution to correct the leak.
Then install your fasteners and gently snug them up so the cover does not leak.
