Doesn't matter if it needs a PCV valve or new paint, just looking for a valve cover that isn't damaged/cracked.

Do not ask me to message you on some 3rd world app, keep it here.

 

I know functionally they are essentially the same as the '00-03 valve cover... aesthetically, how do you tell the difference between the two ?

 

The 04-05 covers have a different PCV design that helps burn less oil. I think the baffling is different as well. Several years ago I broke one of my spark plug cylinders on the valve cover trying to remove the spark plug gasket - never had that issue before but it definitely made me paranoid going forward. I'll probably stick to heating up each gasket before trying to pop it out.

I've been using an ap1 cover since, but I'd like to get the original back in place.

 

I have two or three odd S2K valve covers in a tote... I didn't label them, so I am not sure how to tell you for sure what I have. The '06+ only has one cam sensor port, so they are easy to identify... just not sure on the '00-05. If you can give me something specific to look for, I would be happy to check what I have for you.

 

the 04-05s have a threaded pcv port for the valve that's mounted sideways. The ap1s have an upward facing, non-threaded hole.

 

Well, that ought to be easy enough !!! I will check what I have and report back to you.

 

OK, so I checked my tote... I have one AP1 valve cover and two '06+ valve covers... no '04-05 model. Sorry.
