Sorry. Didn't realize that asking to see the oil pan is a stupid question. Seeing as many (a majority?) of motors sold without the clip get a damaged oil pan at the oil pump pickup. Failure to see this results in catastrophic engine damage. But.. you're right. That is a stupid thing to ask.
As for the valvecover.. I have my reasons. And it's not to see what color or shape it is.
