Hells yes, we need to have a FL CA meet maybe somewhere near MELBOURNE FL. THats 2 hrs from me driving slow, and about the same from Ft.Lauderdale,Miami, and probably less than 1.50 hrs from orlando.

I'm gonna try and set one up for end of september.Lemme know who's interested. Sorry for the thread jack.

updatei found teh original seller, waiting on reply from him

and putting in the breathers and fill cap would be as easy as handing them to your machine shop guys and sawying (here, put these breathers on here and here) along will the threads for a fill cap (or) use a different way to fill... thinking about it obvious ways up front are to remove a cover and fill .... or dipstick tube... .... or just another elbow in the side (like a breather) but with a screw in plug... + funnel

maybe ill be able to find them, maybe i wont, but now i want them

Post by **datso** » Wed Sep 12, 2012 11:23 pm

anyone have any of these covers for sale?

Post by **boost_boy** » Thu Sep 13, 2012 3:36 am

I got a pair and money driven (love the way that sounds). PM me an offer as the worst I can say is "I'm good"

DO realize that I'm not all that motivated, but am entertained by the demand, so come correct....lol

Post by **datso** » Thu Sep 13, 2012 4:05 am

first and most important as my imagination is not that reliable, any pics of them on an engine?

Post by **tommey** » Tue Aug 20, 2013 2:26 pm

Where are these magnesium valve covers from?
Somekind of racing part?

Post by **float_6969** » Wed Aug 21, 2013 5:30 am

Yea, IIRC, the CA18 was used in some small racing series in Japan for a short time. It was a limited race, with a limited number of engines, so these valve covers are like hens teeth.

Post by **boost_boy** » Wed Aug 21, 2013 5:38 am

They live in my garage and has been there for quite some time with all the rest of the stuff that I've spent a gang of loot on. I swear, if I had back half the money I've spent on parts and cars, I would be a semi-rich kind of guy. Last I looked at them, they looked exactly like the ones pictured on tyrannix's post.

Post by **tommey** » Wed Aug 21, 2013 7:54 am

Seems to be made for a drysump setup.
*add to wishlist*
