Urgent need of valve cover dowel



My N14 valve cover is missing one of the dowels that surround the center bolts. I found one in the head but the other one is missing. I even pulled the pan when the head was off and looked for it.

Someone has to have a old bad valve cover laying around.
I’ll pay shipping.

Looks like your valve cover/gasket is leaking oil. Might be a good thing just to replace the whole valve cover and gaskets as the PCV system can also go faulty over time.

I just want to get this running first. Bought it 5 months ago and haven’t heard it run yet.

I already ordered them. They are not the ones that are IN the valve cover. These mount it the head.

Thanks anyway.
