$1,300 for valve cover gaskets?

I'm not too surprised they broke several bolts since you're from the Northeast. They're just tiny M6 bolts which run all the way through the cylinder heads so the bottom of the bolts get exposed to road salt and water. I broke a couple when I did mine and I have a rust-free Southern vehicle.

And what's this timing cover gasket that you speak of? Only the 4.0L V6 has a timing (chain) cover that can leak oil. The V8 uses plastic timing belt guards to keep debris from entering the timing belt area.
