Need replace the valve cover. Help needed.

Look in the FSM. I havn't done it on a VQ before but I've swapped valve or rocker covers on just about everything else. Just take pictures as you go so you remember where everything came from, order a new gasket with the v/c and get some RTV.

I have two spare valve covers in my garage. IIRC they just have a rubber seal. If you need just a part off of one of them or the whole valve cover just send me a PM. Taking them off isn't all that hard. If its the part I'm thinking of, you could probably just replace that one part and not the whole valve cover.

If you have a picture of what you broke, it would help.
