Newcal yes the V/// covers are Mag.

Mattgold.. very nice...I'd like to get rid of the warped plug cover on mine.. where did you get the CF one?

 

The e-Bay valve cover appears to be sold. Bummer.

 

C/F Plug cover came from RMR. I believe HKS Kansai Service along with Varis make them as well.

 

I really like this valve cover does anyone know if the color is the same as stock one? I have the RMR carbon spark plug cover so mine would look similar to your set up. Now I gotta find one

 

Here ya go Matt. I want your ARC heatshield though!

 

Sorry, I may have been a tad misleading. The OEM Evo VII one is the EXACT same color as our valve cover. I however had mine powdercoated "Type-R" Wrinkle Red. I am planning on powdercoating my Intake Manifold and Turbo to match, so keeping the stock color was not an option.

Thanks for the positive imput...

RSBoy - All I see is an "x"... maybe it's this damn firewall Im behind.

 

well at least that settles the arguement of whether or not it can be powdercoated

 

hmmm... not sure about firewall. I can view it at work behind our firewall. Let me know, I can email you the image of your engine bay if u want.

 

You can powder coat it, but the logevity is the issue. Magnesium is not the ideal meatl to PC from what the PC guy that did my wheels tells me.

 

You can have them imported through Japan OEM parts dealers. Expect to pay ~$350 for one, plus expensive overseas customs/shipping.

JDM
EVO 5 & 6 valve cover part number: 1035A280 (DOHC 16 VALVE)
EVO 7 valve cover part number: 1035A655 (EVOLUTION)
EVO 8 valve cover part number: 1035A464 (lines)
EVO 9 valve cover part number: 1035A631 (MIVEC TURBO)

USDM
EVO 8 valve cover part number: 1035A653 (lines)
EVO 9 valve cover part number: 1035A633 (MIVEC TURBO)

 

Will an USDM VIII VC fit on a USDM IX or will MIVEC cause it not to fit?

 

What?
I've had zero issues with customers that had their Evo magnesium valve covers powder coated.
Also coated a set of Magnesium wheels for a sport bike that are holding up excellent.
Prep and coating process is what determines the longevity of a coating, not the metal.

 

i picked one up on here for relatively cheap.

 

I hope you all realize that these covers arent pnp.

 

I hope you guys realize this thread is incredibly old
