just thought id let people know if your planning on buying the aftermark valve covers from quadratec be careful when installing them the metal is pretty cheap. Well installing a corner broke right off so im out 100$. Just so u know!

Junk parts PMOff. Chinese junk in particular. I'm sick to death of their crap. I picked up a bunch of 5/16" lag bolts to install barn door hinges - big swing hinges. I had my then 11 year old son twist them down...he broke four in row. I can understand it if I was reefing on them but this is a boy. And, believe it or not, he was useing a SPEED WRENCH, not a rachet. Junk junk junk. The chinese are a plague.

I talked to a online agent and he said call so I'll be doing it tomorrow. But unless they send me a free one it won't be worth it for me cuz they charged 70$ to ship it here

I bought one a while back, I think it's pretty cool, I'm trying to figure out how you broke a corner, did you start torx at one end? Mine laid flat before I even started, I thought the quality was pretty good, I did not like the oil filler cap supplied so I got another one.
