VIII Valve Cover

I just cracked my valve cover from over tightening it. Im wondering if anyone knows where I can find a decent priced one new or used. I checked out the for sale areas and sent some messages but im in a hurry to get it back together. And was also wondering if i should replace the gasket I just put on because i put silicone on it and not sure if it will need to be replaced. Need feed back asap thanks everyone!!
