purpose of piece in valve cover?

as i previously mentioned, there is a noise on the timing side of the engine under the valve cover which i am very sure is the chain.
it is brand new. as instructed, i checked the part in the valve cover which sits above the chain. i replaced the cover with an extra one i had.
while my engine was being built, the valve covers said around for about a year. someone had mentioned that they could shrink and harden which would cause noise. i notice in both valve covers that there are chain tracks which indicates the chain rubs against it. i also pushed and pulled on the chain and it slid back and forth slightly across the sprockets. does this piece in the valve cover push down on the chain to quiet it?
possible that i need a whole new valve cover?
if so, i need a source for a VALVE COVER, NOT a VALVE COVER GASKET.
thanks in advance,
matt
