Interesting, good to know. I've had the car for 9ish years and it had 15k when I bought it. Original owner must have had them replaced at some point.
I wonder if the gaskets were done at one point? They were plastic but had grey around the openings instead of orange/red as seen in some videos. Valve cover gaskets were grey too, and looked identical to the fel-pro ones I changed them out with.

Yeah sounds like everything was done. OEM valve cover gaskets are orange not gray.
