    a tougher replacement bolt? nope sorry we dont! haha...but maybe you shouldnt torque those bad boys down so tight....its only like 11 foot lbs (or maybe like low 20s i dont remember haha)of torque to tighten ur valve cover! the heat of ur valve cover does part od the sealing anyway....ur obviously tightening them waaay too much if thats the third one...invest in a torque wrench!
