That's pretty weak sauce... For about $15 you could have bought Air craft stripper and some Duplicolor paint.

Looks pretty bad. Mine didnt come out that way. You sure its an actual "authentic" J's valvecover? They only offered them for a couple years back in 2001-2003 after that you had to buy the motor to get one as per Ben from AJ Racing... I got mine before that. There are "style" J's valvecovers out there...
Here is an "authentic" picture of one. I am not saying yours isnt real (I cant tell) but just making you aware that they are over $400 used not new plus shipping. I bought it used for $450+shipping back in 2003. BTW all J's Racing valvecovers are bought as used items not new..

You don't have to buy the motor for the valve cover, they sell them separately.
Thirdly, they've been the same price since they've came out, which is 32000yen.

I am not going to get into a debate over this. What I know what was told and sold to me. Anyway dont take this the wrong way. But honestly in 2001 and early 2002 AJ wasnt importing Js Racing stuff from what I can remember. The car had only been out a year, remember? On top of that I dont really care. I was just stating an observation on the valvecover.

I think that Dickson would know more than you Chris. Dickson probably is getting his info from Ben who does a not more dealing with J's than you or anybody else on this site. As you said, things change. Maybe they sell them without purchasing the whole motor now.

I would be considered a kid since I was only 6 when you were driving your Teg. Im not saying that you dont have information, or useful information for that matter. Im just saying that AJ-R deal VERY closely with J's Japan and that they probably communicate with them more often. Just my $.02. Not doubting any of your knowledge, but I just think theres might be more up to date.
