Default HELP ASAP! Someone want to tell me where to get VALVE COVERS?

Well it all begins trying to show your little brother how to replace the injectors on my truck. He asked if he could do something so I just let him put the valve covers back on... bad idea? yes! Instead of just snuggin them up, he cranks the **** out of them bending them all to hell and i know it gonna leak.



So here I sit, shopping online and starting to get pissed. Yes I know valve covers are the basically impossible to find for the 7.3, seeing if anyone knows where i can get my hands on some. Just looking for OEM.



Does anyone stock them or do I have to go though Navistar?

Huh?

On the valve covers?

No there is not. You have the valve cover gaskets, then the valve cover, then bolts. There are no spacers. There are some tall "bolts" but there is no way for those to cause the valve cover to get bent...
