Are all valve covers the same? 1.7 - 2.0? And are they interchangable from left to right and can they be straightened easily. I have one with the outside lip that is bent.

Yes, they do. They drastically increase the amount of oil you find on your heat exchangers... Plus they add stress to fasteners that are not very over-engineered in the first place (the rocker arm retaining studs).

IMHO, they suck.
