Gentlemen, I have a qustion on my hands.
My x was overheating because of the head gasket. I decided to pull the motor and replace the head gasket with SOS's gaskets. While Im in there, I will replace the timming belt , water pump, ARP head studs, replace the hoses with blue ones from ebay. My question now is around my Valve covers.
While I was stripping them to prepare for powder coating, I noticed some chips missing. (see photo)

Valve covers are chipped and I wanted opinions on if:
1 can they can be fixed?
A. Welded up
B. Epoxed
2 will the missing part will surely cause an out leak?
3 you can insert suggestion here..
Thanks for your assistance in advance ..
