<VV> New Oil Leak

I had threads fail on one of my valve cover bolts, but there were still a
ouple of threads at the bottom - enough to install a stud (with
elf-locking nut).

If it does not have to be original, that is a lot easier than a heli-coil.

 clamp was loose because the threads in the block failed.  So, it's Helicoil
 time after removing the muffler, heat shield and valve cover.  Tomorrow's
 another day.
