Are you sure you're talking about the valve cover and not the injector cover? The valve cover is big metal piece that sits ontop of the engine... all of them say 2.0L just the magnum is made of aluminium or whatever... if you have an R/T you have the mangum cover.

Now if you're talking about injector cover, thats a little plastic cover that fits overtop of your fuel rail and covers your injectors. Early models came with the cover but late model years didn't. You can pick one of the High-Output covers at the dealer for under $20 or so... plus about $5 for the bolts with the studs ontop.

I know what the valve cover is, I thought in some of the older posts that i read, people were refering to the valve cover when they said injector cover. I thought they were just using the wrong name. Didn't realize they were actually two seperate things. Thanks for the help

Non-Mags are plastic... Magnums are metal...

on another note, does anybody know where I could find a polished aluminum valve cover?

No one really makes on... you'll have to buy another VC and polish it yourself, send it off somewhere, or take it some place locally to have it done.

you could if you find a used one being sold. on the other hand like mentioned before u can find a mag v/c and take it to a powder coating shop. you can have it polished or any color you like.

i think im getting one cuz i cracked mine while replacing the pvc valve. blasted carbonegraphite...

can you guys see the urethane filled motor mount, painted that baby red also.
