I bought the valve cover from another evom member so I can throw it in my car and send mine out to get powder coated. It looks like there was a piece broken off by the edge of the cam gear but its back together not sure by what but seems sturdy and one of the middle bolt holes are plugged assuming it might been cracked but I used it in my car and drove it for 3 weeks until I got mine back and had no issues with leaking oil or anything. If anyone is intersted I can send pics! Im looking to get $50+shipping..thanks!
