4G63 part I don't know the name of.

[TheFallenJosh]

Ok I have a 95 GST I bought and the engine didn't come with a few parts. There is one in particular I'd like to get, but I don't know the name. Its that piece that is like an insert for the valve cover that covers the plug wires. Anyone know the name for it? More importantly where to get one?

Thanks,
Josh

You talking about the L shaped piece in this pic? If so that is a spark plug cover.

Spark Plug (Valley) Cover.
Many companies make them, you can get OEM from any dealership or JNZ.

You don't need one. You could also make one out of sheet metal. I've made one from Lexan before. Turned out nice and held up great. Could also grab one from a local junk yard for a couple of bucks.

The lexan ones I've seen always yellow very quickly. I have a sheet metal one from dsmgraveyard, I don't like having all that crap visible, it's messy. When the time comes I'm even going to order a set of the OE plug wire clips that keep them all straight under the cover, assuming they're still sold.

^^ Not to mention it helps reduce gunk and stuff getting in there.

well i tried to find one in a junkyard ( i went on a hunt) but all i found were non turbo eclipses

A non turbo 1g with the 4g63 would have it..

that would definitely be a spark plug cover. you can typically find them in junkyards, ebay, or a performance website. given that, junkyard ones could be bent or warped, while ebay ones and performance shop ones are typically newer and in better condition.

Yup, it's a spark plug cover. Got 2 extra ones laying around here.. pm me if interested. One has a red-colored stripe; the other doesn't.

dude i may have one laying around, you can have it if i do. i'm local, you may have to pick up some bolts for it though

Well thanks for the help guys! Sorry I'm still new to the 4g63 motor, I barely know my way around my 420a and I've had it for 2 yrs.
