I don't think is real, but I know JDM Accord SIR-T 2.2 VTEC has OEM blue valve cover.

stupid work won't let me look at ebay but Type-S cars typically get Blue valve covers from the factory.

Yes, I have seen one in a Japanese "VTEC sports" magazine or something. The engine was a B20TC and it have that blue valvecover

That Japanese writing just says "Honda Parts" and then has an address of the place where it's from. I heard the 'TC' was touring car but I might be wrong.

I have seen a pix of KingMotorsports show room and they had a Bseries BLUE valve cover like that hanging on the wall. And i know KING MS doesn't carry any cheap ebay items. Only JDM or OEM or other high quality items.

i can't really tell from the pix but is that texture the same as an ref ITR valve cover?
I'll get one!

Assuming it came out of that box, then it's real. It looks real (the texture looks right), but it's hard to tell when it's just a photo.

Looks like it might be a valvecover from a JDM aftermarket company such as J's Racing or M&M.

The valve cover in question is from/for a B-series motor. Honda's OEM blue valve covers came on Accord SiR's.

hybridcoupe97, I was wondering about your signature... Dave Chappelle? Does he also go by the name of braveheart? "fastest 1.5ltr in the universe?" From Tucson also?
