Re: Mugen valve cover. (skunkintegra)
all the trouble of hand-carrying it from japan, should have gone with a "genuine" one since he was already there, and not a copy. still looks nice though. just keep it.

the last valve screw needs to be in the middle of the "E" and "N" in "MUGEN"
also the "mugen" insignia has no space inbetween the top of the insignia and the two bottom valve cover bolts hole indentations.
there are other upclose etching flaws aswell. but from any decent photo its pretty easy to see a fake or not...
