Spirit R/T valve cover gasket info


   Boy--what next?  I noticed a really bad oil smell about 2 months ago in
   my '91 R/T, found out it's the valve cover gaskets.  The one in the rear
   is leaking just enough to drip down the back of the engine and make
   everything stink.  I can't believe the trouble I'm going through to get
   a set of valve cover gaskets for this thing.  Nobody in the surrounding
   area (Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine WI, and parts of ILL) had any.  Finally
   the local Chrysler dealership found a couple down south but they want to
   charge me for everything from shipping to the long distance calls they
   had to make to get a set-comes to just over $100.00,(funny ain't it).
   Does anybody know of a cheaper route than this?  Any and all
   suggestions welcome at this point and thanks in advance.

My (excellent) parts guy verifies that these are on national backorder.  The
Chrysler locator shows some sources.  So does Partsvoice (1-800-328-8766
touchtone, 1-800-662-7499 9600 baud 8N1, or www.partsvoice.com).  To use
Partvoice via the 800 numbers, your ID number is 88+your area code.  Part
number for the gaskets is 4484489.  List price is ~$43/pair (though if you're
not getting a discount on parts from your dealer you need to talk to them
about it or find another dealer).  Anyway, contact Partsvoice and make your
own calls.
