When I had my head rebuilt, I needed some studs for the valve train.
They seemed to be unavailable. A local machine shop (a guy working out
of his house, with a lot of skill) made some by just threding some rod.
I believe the rod was cromoly but I don't think for a valve cover it would
have to be very strong. Anyway, you might just look into making some, or
have someone else do so.
