WTB: Valve Cover
Anybody got one?
beta 1
needs to be in pretty good shape. Got one from ebay that was super brittle and cracked while drilling, the gasket was actually snapping in two as I took it off. I'm tapping it for vent.

I got one at my parents house, no cracks, does have 80k on it though. Even have a gasket set i could throw in to if you wanted. I just needed a spark plug tunnel seal but i had to get the whole kit

That's cool, when do you think you could ship it by. The sooner the better since I'm trying to get it done asap. I'm going to check the local salvage yards today. They usually don't have anything though.

I'm planning on going up there tomorrow, so if all is well with the cover, which im sure it is, then i can ship monday.
Only problem is the gasket set is in my tool box at work, so if you want the gaskets too i can't ship it out till wed.
Just let me know, we'll make it work
Regarding the drilling, just heat the area with a hair dryer for a minute to soften the plastic before you start drilling, should make it less prone to cracking
