they suck i put one on my 5th gen lude and that little wiring electrical **** wrapped up in electrical tape wont sit right in the cover, so it ends up lookin all dickey and **** get a real one or just paint your stock one for all of $20

 

I have never had one but I do no someone who had one. They complained of the same ****, the alternator wire strip didn't seat right and he had probs with his oem valve cover gasket set....

 

I had the same problem with the alternator loom not sitting right.

It seems that the metal tag in the bottom right hand corner should not be there. The plastic loom cover bolts to the PS pump mount bracket and this tag just gets in the way.

Just do what I did, and cut the tag off with an angle grinder. I think its still worth the money tho

 

I dont understand why you would pay 100 for a valve cover when you could get something performance wise. Not to mention it's obx...

 

what if you dont have one to begin with?

Ive purchased a few heads with out valve covers, $90 beats $180-$200 any day if you ask me.

Almost same situation. What if it was cracked and you just needed a replacement, and maybe something in red or blue would be nice.

For $90, if it is good enough in quality, why not right?

But some people have problems with the OEM Gasket?

 

really you can find good condition OEM ones cheaper and then just repaint it yourself. never heard anything bad about the OBX ones, but OEM first IMHO.

 

its jsut a valve cover i would guess even with a company like obx that couldn't screw it up THAT bad..

im looking for a valve cover where can i get a price for these things?

 

you guys need to realize somthing here ....that is an exact replica of an f20b cover ..the reason the tab is there is because the f20b dose not have power steering bracket where the normal wire cover would bolt down to ....so this is why the cover doesnt bolt down right

So if the tab is grinded out, it would be a PERFECT fit?

 

OEM!!!!!!!!!

Just buy the real one and don't worry. I got mine for christmas

you are going to get fucked going OBX.

Go OEM and buy an OEM valve cover gasket and sparkplug gasket/grommet things.

 

yea should fit fine
