Two ratchet straps on a bare pallet without wood blocks and without screws would have limited the damage to the valve cover.

Someone is bending you over with no lube with that quote. Don't take it from behind a second time before you are healed.
I suppose you aren't using collapsible tubes because it doesn't look original? Even then you are getting hosed on the repair and if I were the builder of this engine I would laugh when you presented me with a $10k Bill.
