Re: Valve covers
Are you asking what you have or what you want?
OEM is steel, gasket could be either cork or rubber. Depends of if it's been changed. If it's been changed, I've seen a PO just use silicone. So really you won't know until it's pulled. I prefer the rubber gasket for a replacement (personal preference. I don't think I've used cork in 20 years.)

Re: Valve covers
Go with a cast aluminum it seals better
