Summit Valve Cover Wing bolts???

Could someone tell me if I would experience any leaking or problems with a wing style bolt for the valve covers. Im gonna be getting a new polished aluminum set soon and would only use a set of wing bolts for shows, but will they leak? Summit part number:SUM-G3426

I'm using the perimeter bolt style of these, with the female threads on the bottom, and it comes with the allen drive set screws to go into the heads.

They work well, no leaks.

I've got 'em on my center bolts...the wing parts actually unscrew, allowing you to gain more length if needed...not a whole lot but enoughf for some "slightly" taller-than-stock valve covers. That's the problem I had, the stock bolts werent long enough.

No leaks...yet. Although I do have to re-tighten them occasionally.
