JDM valve cover

[foxracing4500]

I went to the junkyard today and I pulled a JDM valve cover, just curious if I was to post this in the classifieds how much could I expect or should I just put it on my car?

Ehhhh... it's just a valve cover. What it's worth depends on how badly the person you're selling it to needs one.

My guess would be $35 to $50, if it's in good shape and there are no cracks and it's not warped.

Personally, I would hang on to it so you have a spare, or one you can modify with better fittings if you decide to in the future.

I agree with Calan, Anywhere around $50. Maybe less depending on condition.

JDM ..

alright thanks! I know in a group of dsm owners we all like to stick out, valve covers are usually the first thing we see.

I believe the JDM covers have the mitsu diamond insignia as well as say Mitsubishi.

Not JDM that came factory of my gsx????

 

[Grn95GST]

All Galant VR-4's had the Mitsubishi valve cover.

 

[J_HEATH]

99% sure that is a Galant VR4 valve cover. My buddy bought one new back in 99 for his 92 4/6 Talon.

 

[Imback]

There rare. I've seen them go for anywhere from 50 to 100 depending on condition. Powder coated ones go for more obviously. I'd keep it personally.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Only to brag..But I have an extra one of these.Still red fom factory with a non modded vac line.

I only offered it to one person, So no offers please.Unless you happen to be that person.

looks like my 7 bolt came with the 16 valve one, and my 6 bolt came with the mitsubishi one. i also have both, gonna powdercoat the mitsubishi one. and also plan on keeping both, since my 16 valve cover has some stripped and cracked bolt holes.

there is a difference i noticed on the 6 bolt and 7 bolt valve covers and that is that the 6 bolt VC comes with a 90* angle breather port as the 2g 7 bolt comes with a straight out breather port.

hell no , I was using it for an example, I found a 2g eclipse with a im guessing a galant motor swap with that same valve cover on it.

EDIT: infact I reused the gasket and havent had one leak unlike my old one, also turned out nice with a quick sand and spray job.

This is mine,

Yeah, that looks really good.

Quick sidequestion on VC's: Are the PCV valve THREADS only good for one time use?

It seems like you cannot replace a PCV valve without stripping.

Don't mean to hijack.

they arent one time use, the valve cover is just soft material, if your wanting to delete the PCV you can always tap a 1/8 npt through hole into a catch can, if you intend on keeping the PCV you willneed to find a 1/8BSP tap to chase the threads.
