I've never seen stamped steel or plastic valve covers for this engine. As far as I know, 116 or 117 valve covers will work. Torquing with the proper crush washers is critical. I've solved two leaks on a 116 and 117 with just new valve cover gaskets, crush washers, and even, multistep torquing to spec.
