No disagrement on the looks. Sometimes looks take a back seat, though.

Well, not much to add here.

You may be just lucky on that one. I'm not sure I ever got cork to stay
leak free for more than a year - the cork shrinks and the valve cover
corners start leaking. Sometimes "in a big way".=A0

Alexander Racing Enterprises (www.the-vintage-racer.com) has these - they
are awesome. Highly recommended!! For both the stock valve cover and the
alloy. It is almost a set it and forget it part!! The fit on the alloy=20
cover is perfect as-is the fit on the stock cover. WORTH THE MONEY.
