I am an engineer by trade and if this was my design I would use standard nuts and Nordlock washers which after many years of trials is the only truly reliable locking solution. But no sealing there - then again I cannot understand why it would be needed with a 100% functioning gasket?
I am keeping an open mind so somebody explain where my logic is wrong.

On air,
Time to demonstrate and prove your idea is better than the common practice. Replace all the washers and nuts on your valve covers and install common 13-mm nuts and Nordlock washers. And we will all cheer for your
success. Good luck.
