GOTit12.......From what I read you posted was a rock or something rubbed a hole through the cover. When you say cover are you talking about the inner cover the think alum. one or the otter thin one?

I have in the past used a 3M product that works really great for patching that up things. Its # 05885. It is some really good stuff. The key is to grind the area so that it is free of oil and down to the metal so it will stick. Have had many valve covers that stuff had rubbed through like on the old peterbilts the radiator support would come loose and rub a whole in it. Not the kind of fix you would want to do but if its the inner cover and the truck has high mile Id patch it until you inframe it. THat way you will have it all apart you can replace it at that time.
