I have put a piece of 3/4" OAK dowel in a vice installed vertically.
Then I found a second piece of oak that fit inside the valve cover lip.
I had a helper hold the valve cover flat to the 1" dowel surface.
Then I gave the smaller dowel a SHARP WACK with the smaller oak dowel impacted by
a large head hammer and then the valve cover hole in that position was basically flat.
I repeated the process 7 more times. No damage to the chrome or the valve cover.
