Good or bad valve cover
recently received this new valve cover looks like the spark plug tube seals are dry and cracking. Are they good to use or should I ask the seller for a exchange?
Honestly just looks like your normal carbon build up.
Sounds like another overly picky private buyer. I'd honestly tell you to kick rocks unless you paid a huge price.
Buyers like you are why I rely on the sold as is. I've had a kid drive a car for 6 months before he tried to sell it back to me ovwr some BS like this after he opened the motor for god knows why and wanted me to opt for a full engine overhaul cause it had normal 10 year wear and tear. He expected it to look like a crate engine.
It's a used car. Welcome to matinance on a used old vehicle.
Some people expect the seller to spend a couple grand on repairs before the buyer buys their car worth a couple grand. Unless it's blown or obviously a scam sale it is what it is. Either buy or walk.

If it's new to you, but has been used, it's going to have wear and tear.

Might help if you had a little more detail on OP. It sounded like you bought it off a "guy", not bought it new from a company.
Like trav said have you even tried to call or ask them?

Yes, I have talk to them and they said it should be fine. Might put some rubber protector this afternoon and see if the cracking goes away.
Well I hope it works out man.
Yea that doesn't look "brand new" to me either. But I guess it is what it is. Hopefully they honor it if it's no good. A lot of people back Z1 here tho. I've only used them for basic purchases so I can't speak much about them.

O snap I have some sitting in the boxes they came in... Ive had them for like 6 months and haven't looked at them yet... Hopefully they are in fact new when I finally open up the box.
