I don't think i've ever heard of valve covers being warped. But if they truly are, junk them. How are the heads? I'd assume they were toast as thats really the only way the valve covers would warp is if the heads got so hot they warped something major, or you had an engine fire and they warped from the heat of that. Got any pics of them by chance?
