Here's the answer to all of your questions! As for the westside preformance valve cover, I think it's a very nice valve cover. The outside of the cover, is a sand casting, a little bit rough. It comes in a semi polished look. It has the capability of being polished nice, for those of you who would want to polish it. It is a pretty thick cover. They have their name casted into the top of the cover. All the holes for the stock air cleaner are there. It mounts to the engine, using the stock studs that come up off the rockers. They use rubber grommets with washers to seal the studs. It is nicely baffled, not like the Clifford. It requires no drilling. The front and rear holes on the cover, use set screws as guides, so when you set the cover down on the head, these set in the stock bolt holes. The surface that meets the head is all a all flat machined finish. We spread a bead of high temp silicone on the cover, let it set for a couple of minutes, and then set it down on the head, and snugged down the bolts. As it stands now, we've been breaking in the motor for about 3 days, freeway and street driving, and so far, no leaks. The contents of the kit also includes, the rubber grommets for the pvc valve and the oil fill cap, oil fill cap, the studded brackets, rubber grommets, washer and nuts for the rockers, and the alignment pins. I do like this cover over the Clifford. And it's alot easier to get. Their retailing them out here for $159.95. If anyones interested in them, I'll try to get the best deal I can for you. Mike
