ebay was a no-go as well...surprisingly.

i guess i overttightened it. the stealership wants something like $480 to get a new one and install it...they told me to look elsewhere to save me $$$.

that jdm one is cool...but it will still take 6-8 weeks to get it here. apparently the hurricane knocked out the distribution place for the OEM one. so if any of you floridians see a valve cover floating around...PM me haha

can i ghetto fix it perhaps by sanding it down a bit...then jb welding it. maybe powdercoat it????

I will have a valve cover for sale next week, about Wednesday. Im waiting for my new one to come in from getting powdercoated. How much was it new from the dealer, $220? Try Mentor Mitsu in Ohio.

I guess you have to be carefull with them since there Magnesium. Best o Luck I have seem the Evo VII ones I think at Mach V they look the same but say Evolution on the valve cover.
