Valve cover replacement

[ashtheflash]

Hi, I've just change my T4R 3VZE, overhead gaskets,however the left,driver's side, gasket cover seems to be slightly distorted at the inner end. There's always oil around the screw, and at high rev's, I'm losing oil. Where can I find a replacement cover?

When you changed your gaskets, did you RTV the groove and bottom of the gasket before you installed them? This helps fill in any imperfections of the cover and the gasket. I just did mine and they are tight...so far.

My problem is the drivers side. I rip everything apart, cleaned everything with solvent so it was nice and dry, put it back together perfectly and it still leaked. The book didn't say to use sealent so I didn't, today I'm going to rip it off again and use RTV this time.
