Oil caps

Quick Question:

Do oil caps for the Evo work on our engines too?

I got one from Ebay.....4 months no leaks....did you used one and got leaks??? One of my local speed shops sells a JMD (welll they said it is) oil cap....same construction and finish as the one I got from Ebay....only the package and $$ are not the same....got mine for $12 vs $26 at speed shop....anyway if you got leaks you can install the oem back....

I had mine on for no more than 200 miles before i smelt burning oil and sure enough it leaked all over the place. Oh well, i was out 99 cents plus 11 SHIPPING so i just put the oem one back on.

Um... a 99 cent cap... didn't that set off a few red flags in your mind?
