    This past week I've been replacing the head gaskets as well as other gaskets along the way in my 05 GTP. When putting the valve covers back on I noticed the front one had a crack in it. I've been calling around to all the salvage yards in my area and nobody has one for my car. My question is whether the covers to the GTP are unique, or will any 3800 covers work? If that's the case, then I think it would make finding one much easier. Thanks for the help.

    Needs to be for a l67/l32 aka for a supercharged 3800 (injector holes in vc) and not for a N/A setup

    So you're saying as long as it's for a supercharged vehicle it can be for either the l32 or l67? Hopefully that'll make it easier to find. Would plastic weld work for this?
