Curious if the Mivec IX valve cover will fit on the VIII engine. I have one that I was going to shave the Mivec lettering off and powder coat but didn't want to start on this project unless I know its going to fit my engine. Tried to search on this and came up empty.

 

im not positive but i dont think it will work i believe the valve gasket is a little bit differnt but i may be wrong

 

Thanks! I'll look up the gasket part numbers and if they're different then maybe not.

 

Wont work.. Mivec cam gear slot is not the same..

 

Why do you want to do it in the first place? Keep you car WHAT it is...

 

Thanks Mike.

Part numbers confirm:
2004 Felpro Gasket Part Number: VS50723R
2006 Felpro Gasket Part Number: VS50721R

 

I could care less if its a VIII or IX valve cover. I just happen to come across one dirt cheap and it made more sense cost wise if it would fit my engine. I was going to shave the lettering anyway.

 

If yer not gonna use it what would you sell it for shipped to 30022? PM me when ya get a chance?

 

PM'd you.
