Anyone know what the stock valve covers are made of? Are they cast aluminum? Also, does anyone have a good link for polishing these? thanks

Yep cast aluminuim. As far as polishing them i would sand them with progressively less and less grit paper. Finally giving them a wet sand then use something like autoglm's metal polish on them. Then either clear coat em or give em a coat of wax.
