Yes, it is the o-rings for the sparkplug guides, a valve cover set will do you just fine.

The power output will be dependent solely upon the characteristics of your build, may it be high compression, stock compression with cams and bolt ons, or low compression and forced induction. Your useage of the car should come into consideration while making this decision, whether it be show-worthy, race-worthy, or daily driver-worthy. An aftermarket intake manifold, such as the skunk2 will give you a slight advantage top end, alone it may not be enough to notice on the butt dyno, but it works well in conjunction with other modifications, such as previously stated cams. Hope this helps.

x2 Those rings are probably burnt out or "crispy" and they are not completly blocking the oil correctly so the oil drips into your spark plugs.
