All the screws on your bike are JIS not Phillips. They have a very different pitch to them. Get JIS bits or JIS screwdrivers and they will turn out easily every time.

That cracked valve cover will now leak. Sorry. Might be able to find someone to carefully TIG weld it up for you, or find a replacement.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
