74105, Cracked my Valve cover
Posted by 99GSBBTurbo, Jun-23-04 01:50 PM
ya, I'm fixing my car all up, making it like new so I changed my valve cover gasket cause it had a small seep of oil comming out of one of the bolts. well I tightened it too tight and crack.... DAMN!!! put a hairline crack in it and now it's leaking like Crazy!!!! what valve cover do you think I should get now that I have to get a new one. I want chrome or polished but I was thinking about blue... and I would LOVE to have CARBON FIBER but I havn't found one yet. What do you guys think I should do. I have to get one REALLY SOON though.........

Welcome to the world of the 4g63! J/k. Personally i think that a blue VC, as closley matched blue to your car as you can get, would look great and a CF spark plug cover. i haven't even heard of a CF valve cover though. i wouldn't want to risk putting one of them on even if they did make one.

seriously! The 4G63 is such a strong engine... but everything around it is week... trany's suck, cheap ass valve covers that crack if you even slightly over tighten it, and the smallest turbo in the whole frickin world!!

but on the color, that's what I was thinking but the spark plug cover alone is $80! DAMN... that's more then the valve cover I can get... lol.. I was thinking like a black chrome too? I dunno I'm stuck...

haha, at least thats one thing we dont have to worry about. i see this as an all-too-comon problem with 4g63's...sorry to hear your luck tho. i vote on chrome with blue lettering. i love your color, but i think this would be too much blue...you need something to accent your engine bay. possibly paint some other stuff blue..but chrome the VC...i see them on ebay and on the trader all the time

I say get the blue valve cover and a carbon fiber spark plug cover. It will match that sexy ass ride you have perfectly.

I love your car man...very nice!
