LA valve covers have only 5 bolt holes.
I've used the Made4u vertical looms with no melting issues near my headers.

Mine are defiantly melting. The bottom of the ones closest to the Jet Hot
ceramic coated headers are black and one actually has a plastic drop
forming. The heat also deformed the mounting brackets to where it won't
hold the separators tightly.
This may change the topic:
What conditions will cause an engine to run hot (besides a water
flow/coolant problem)?
