I have gone through at least 4 plastic valve covers in the 20 years I have owned my Jeep. I liked painting them, and dressing up the engine. I finally spent the extra money and bought an aluminum cover. It runs noticably quieter and little to no oil running over!
I suggest looking into an aluminum cover. There are some cool looking ones out there, and they make the engine run quieter and cleaner.

...on the other hand, they could just go get an aluminum cover, as they are claimed to make the engine run quieter and cleaner 'tis said.

You know, you could just replace the plastic valve cover with an aluminum one. I've heard that they run quieter and cleaner.

I prefer my 'dry' plastic one.
Is there any particular reason you made this post so folks couldn't reply easily?

I think it was something about he'd bought an aluminium one, but it pissed oil all over the place and was really loud.
