Where can I buy steel valve covers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Any recommendations on where I can buy some steel valve covers. I totally screwed my up and I can't get them to stop leaking no matter how creative I get with the gasket sealer.

I had a pair of the pressed sheet steel ones. I couldn't stop them leaking so threw them away this past weekend. It seemed to me that cast aluminum ones were less likely to leak and weren't that expensive used on e-bay. If you have a 350 in the 4wd position, tall valve covers won't work. Ask me how I know this.

Thanks for all the replies! I was driving down the road a couple days ago and stopped at a mom & pop auto parts store going out of business. Picked up some valve covers, and a ton of other stuff (about $60 worth) for $25! So, I'll give these a shot.
