Well I'm usually my own Indy, so I'd smack myself fight club style and take it apart again. But that's probably not what you asked

Do you say ‘take the cover off, give it to me- I’ll have it inspected”?
Any ideas?

Well, it's got to be redone, and unless you're capable of assessing the valve cover yourself you may need to trust the indy and eat the cost. Definitely get the old part. Or maybe take it to another Indy if you have concerns about the first one. I don't know how often these valve covers fail; in my case they seemed pretty sturdy for a plastic part. Unfortunately replacing the valve cover on these engines is not a simple task. I don't know what the book time is for this job, but it would take me about 3 hours per side now that I've done it once.
OP - best of luck.
