tried to install my red one today, but the left front hole for the coil pack is bigger than the rest, does have threads still, but the bolt just spins, is this a defect? mines a 2000, do the 03s have a bigger bolt just for that hole? it also didnt come with an oil cap

i guess i could just use three bolts, but im picky.

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 7:47 pm

you can have my oil cap if you want it...i wont be using the one it came w/

blowneon · Post by **blowneon** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 9:54 pm

still concerned about the coil bolt though.....

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 10:00 pm

I dont see why they would make one coil bolt bigger than the others

maybe you should call them and see if you can swap yours for a new one? that doenst soudn right to me about the bolt

dawm · Post by **dawm** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 10:03 pm

the oil cap that comes with it is pretty cheap, it doesnt click to prevent overtightening.

mines still in the box until i do my header install =P

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 10:12 pm

there's mine...then its back into the box for a couple more weeks

how long is this sale for?.... i want one, i want one... but i'm broke

joelrgr · Post by **joelrgr** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 10:36 pm

Didnt say sale length, DANG good price though tell ya what

blowneon · Post by **blowneon** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 11:22 pm

well i hope mine is the only one that is like this, also didnt come with spark plug tube seals. im gonna call mancini tomorrow. hope this wasnt why they were so cheap. the left front coil hole is about 1/8 in bigger, not much, but the threads dont match the others. i could prolly fill, drill and retap, but why bother?

dam it that silver matches the body color

i ordered the red instead because on their site it looks more of a gunmetal color.. oh well hope red engine accents will look good

Floyd · Post by **Floyd** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 7:17 am

i did the same thing. i would have gotten the blue but it looked like a REAL dark blue. i got the red and its a work of art. good quality at a great price!

It got to dark to quick after work for the install but it WILL go on tonight

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 4:08 pm

Got mine today

A warning to you guys installing these! Do NOT overtighten these bolts!!! I did and managed to shear one of them!

Also, I just noticed I don't have the plug seals either. Do I really need these? If so, can I take them off the old cover or do I need to buy new ones?

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 5:34 pm

Maybe they fell off inside the box?

FTWNeon · Post by **FTWNeon** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 5:43 pm

Nope, they weren't in the box, neither was an oil cap.

Yes, you definately need them.

You could use your old ones if they are still nice and soft. Also, to be sure not to damage them, you'd need a seal puller to get them out properly. It would be a better idea to buy new ones. They're cheap....I dunno how much exactly though.

FTWNeon · Post by **FTWNeon** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 6:00 pm

Thats what I figured, I'll have to swap covers back tonight then. This is becoming more expensive then I orginally planned. New bolt, new seals. This sucks.

I just called the dealership, seals are about $10 each. These were supposed to come with the cover right? Other pople have gotten these with theirs right? If so then I'm calling them up tommarrow and see whats going on.

Yeah, I'd be on the phone with them. They're priced good, but they should definitely come with everything you need.

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 7:47 pm

looks good, do they come in a metallic orange?

Damn dealership prices. That is nuts. Depending on what pans out with the place the valve cover came from, go to http://www.moparsupercenter.com and order them. They'll be way cheaper. Hopefully you won't have to order them.

Wasn't able to find them on supercenter. Anybody have the part number for them? Hopefully I should be able to get them from Mancini.

Just ordered mine, in red, of course, but I didnt get the total price - at least it was just really different than I have ever done before. It did not charge shipping, etc... so I guess I got it for cost????

They send you an e-mail once they send it and then tell you how much shipping is. From what I've seen its like $5-$10

PN is 4777042-AB

They are $4.21 from MSC

(edited, so you can copy and paste that number into the search at moparsupercenter.com. You do have to put "make" as Chrysler though)
