Air cleaner T-bracket solution: Drill a hole in the side of the air cleaner closest to the valve cover, and install one of the broken rubber mounts between valve cover and air cleaner, taking up the slack space with a nice piece of rubber. This helps the air cleaner to move with the valve cover and prevents it from getting quite so much flex.
