why is it i've seen a few 4g63 engines with hyundai spark plug covers.. there was a valve cover on ebay with a hyundai badge on the spark plug cover, and a 4g63 engine for sale on ebay now that says in the description "some came with hyundai valve covers..." what is this about?
 
I have a valve cover just like this one and need to order a gasket for it so I can put it on. What year / model hyundai gaskets do I need to order?

I know it would have helped if I had payed attention when I got it at a junkyard, however I thought the mitsu gasket would just work with it so I didn't care.

You're picture isnt working. But it is probably from an early 90-94 elantra. It had a 1.8 dohc 16v in it. The valve cover fits on yours though. I had one of these cars.

yeah i found one of those at a junk yard and cananbalized parts for my 6 bolt swap...

if you copy and paste the link form properties in to the browser window address it will show the pic...


IF that is an elantra (guys at the junk yard thought it was a mitsu) I am going to look for one... but I had no idea the valve cover gasket wouldn't work on it... what's different?
 
Actually the problem with the mitsu gasket is the hole sizes. The hyundai cover uses studs ( which I plan to use on my car as well ) so the diameter of the holes in the valve cover and on the gasket are double the diameter they are on mitsu covers and gaskets. I suppose someone could use the standard mitsu valve cover bolts and put washers underneath them, but I preffer studs over bolts in which case I will need the proper valve cover gasket to get them to fit through it. Trust me I tried it already and the only way to use the studs with a mitsu cover is to try and enlarge the holes and the chances of it leaking are too great for me to risk it. :thumb:

Yes i nearly pooped my pants when i saw that mitsu 1.8 dohc under the hood. But i guess for a few years they put mitsu motors in. It was such a sleeper. Anyways i know atleast 1 person with this valve cover on the car. It looks funny to see an eclipse w/ a valve cover that says hyundai on it.
 
I had never noticed the studs before, but now that I am looking I see what you mean.

here you go.
 
An old roomate of mine used that valve cover on his 91 Talon.If I remember right he had to get longer bolts cause the valve cover was taller then the stock one I know he used washers also but it never sealed very well and would leak a little.
