I have yet to have someone get back to me with a measurement as to how much OEM valve covers warp. Yes the OEM covers are a FRP and they are fine.
All you need are OEM seals, 2 for the lower valve covers and 6 for the upper valve covers.
Since replacing my valve cover seals, my valve covers have been bone dry two years later.
If the old valve cover fasteners are corroded and if you want to replace them, you'll need 22 for the lower valve covers and 16 for the upper valve covers.
By the way, this is what a 15 year old OEM valve cover looks like when it is cleaned up...
If you want to freshen up the aluminum collars on the valve cover should they be corroded, see this
valve cover link.
