JB Weld on a valve cover??
...I DON"T THINK SO!!! You'll have a bitch of a time getting the damn thing off next time you have to take it off!!
First see if you can retap out the hole with a metric tap. You'll need to find the appropriate sized tap to do this though. Check your local foreign auto parts store to see if they carry them. Take your valve cover bolts in as a guide. Make sure you don't tap down too far or you may screw up the entire block. If that doesn't work, then get a helicoil kit, drill out the hole a little wider then tap in the correct sided helicoil threads.

Once you do that, your valve cover should bolt back up without any problems.
Hope this helps....Good Luck!!
