What Ford valve covers are they? Many hardware stores carry stainless bolts in various sizes.

You could also use some threaded rod and make studs.

they are these ones

im thinking about getting some studs. if i have to take them off, it would be easier to just take the covers off and just leave the spacers on the heads.

Get threaded rod, make studs and then you could use Ford Racing's chrome valve cover nuts.
