I think one of my valve covers is warped. I have tried everything to get it to stop leaking with no luck. Does anyone know where I could buy new ones?
thanks,

I do not think new ones are available. I have several sets of cleaned straight covers, some repainted, one pair plated.
PM for details.

Also, purchase some thicker gaskets from Mark (aka: Mikey914) (914rubber.com) ... they took care of a persistent leak I had

Hey Bruce, i would actually be interested in trading your plated covers for my non plated ones for the price of the plating like we did this past weekend on the other miscellaneous parts.

Thanks

Jeff you are too kind. I didn't want to mooch any more parts off you
I am going to redding all weekend. I will pm you to see about the following weekend. I have a 914 world window sticker for you next time I see you too,

No problem, should be around next weekend.
And don't worry about the parts, this is my hobby not my job, its all about having fun and keeping the cars on the road. Glad I'm able to help.
