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?

I'd not accept that.

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.

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.
