Does the cover come with the necessary bolts?

Will the gold finish fade over time?
It features a high-quality anodized finish which is resistant to fading, though it can show cosmetic scratches if hit by heavy debris.

Troubleshooting
Cover does not sit flush against the engine case
Ensure no dirt or old gasket residue remains on the engine case surface before mounting.
Difficulty threading the bolts
Do not force the bolts; back them out and re-align the cover carefully to ensure the threads match the engine case mounting points.
Vibration or rattling noise
Check that all mounting bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications and ensure no washers were missed during installation.
