Mugen (not sure how to spell) valve cover for a SOHC i have been told by 2 people that its a knock off so i was wondering if you guys knew if mugen really did make a valve cover for a SOCH it would be an even swap for my stock one which is odd because arent they really expensive.

 

does it matter?

 

I don't think Mugen bothers with the SOHC....which is unfortunate because it leaves people like you and me out in the cold....i'd say have yours painted or even TENZO R makes nice ones for SOHC

 

mugen did make one for the sohc but its super rare. im 100% sure the one u plan to get is a fake

 

mugen did make one for SOHC it was 800 dollars and for d16 non-vtec models, where the spark plugs are in the back near the intake mani. And i bet the one u are trading for it a knock-off i can guarantee it

edit: dman u beat me to it

 

Knock-off
99.999999999% probability

 

was this important cause you need a new one or you are tryin to go jdm?

 

he talking about the ones on ebay. They are actually made by OBX. They look good though

 

I hate companies that make Knock-offs!!!
Makes all of us second-guess damn-near everything on the internet!!
Most likely a knock-off.... sorry bro. Just pull-off the stock one and paint it. Better-yet get it powder-coated.

 

i was looking at that mugen because my valve cover i have now is missing a bolt and spraying oil all over my engine compartment ive talked the guy down to 5 bucks and and keep my stock one so i am positive its a knock off

Umm not really. Knock offs are good viable options for some things (such as valve covers that dont make your car go any faster...) And you can ALWAYS tell by the price and seller if it is on ebay. Everyone knows Mugen **** (and anything else JDM for that matter) is exspensive, so if you find a deal that makes you question the integfrity...then it is probably a knock off

 

If you are talking about the ones on ebay they are fake, just get it powder coated it will look 20 times better!

 

i have one for sale it has "moooogAn" written on it, i swear its real.

 

i wouldnt care if it was fake if you like it buy it if you dont buy a real one or dont buy the cover

 

spending 800 bucks on a valve cover is like spending $800 on a pile of sand

 

How do you need an entirely new valve cover for a missing bolt? Mine I just replaced the bolt in the head. Then again I have a SOHC D15B7

I broke a valve cover bolt once and just replaced it in the head. Well, more specifcily came up with an alternative. But it's not like there are bolts cast into the valve cover so what are you talking about?

Im wondering the same thing. Just take off valve cover, get a vc new gasket, replace the bolt and your done...

 

that and the 5 bucks...?

Yep... just get it if you like it. Dont worry about it being real or anything. 800$ on a Valve Cover is absurd. 5$ is pretty good.

 

i found this older thread thread with some pics, just scroll down.

these are SOOOOOOOOO rare, No way he's gonna have it and wanna trade!

Yeah, I have seen some Mugen ones for SOHC, not only are they rare, they are expensive as **** if you actually get your hands on one.
