Short of that, you might want to inquire at your local dealer's service dept. and see if they have anything that can repair that material.

I'm talking about the "cylinder head cover"
the actual valve cover.. not the plastic plate you see over top of it.
on the 2007+ they're made out of a plastic instead of aluminium (some previous ones were made out of alum) When you take the valve cover off you can see both cams.
On the inside of the cover, there are 2 vents. These vents release crank case pressure, and have 1way check valves.
I broke one off while removing the valve cover. I ended up studying it and tried JB weld last night. The only thing I Was worried about was how JB weld will hold upto hot oil.
I was going to bring it to a shop and have them plastic weld it.. but really, the JB weld should do the trick.
