NW Imports carry an aluminium valve cover which "comes with a vented cap"
for $65
I have one and jolly nice it looks too. It also came with a pair of rubber
seals and cup washers for the fixing studs.
One disadvantage of this style of cover is that it does not have a groove to
retain the gasket, like the standard cover, so you have to make sure the
gasket is correctly aligned before clamping down. Once you have torqued
down the nuts it stays in place.
