i went to autozone, advanced auto, a&a auto, pep boys and i even tried ebay and can not find new vlave covers anywhere..
does anyone know where they cam be bought.?
or should i just replace the gaskets and paint my old valve covers..
they are leaking oil from the gaskets and the paint is peeling on the top of both them..

there is no paint on the stock valve covers. they are a solid composite.
just replace the gaskets and paint them when you have them off.
if you want to paint them ahead of time, there are some on ebay, http://search.ebay.com/search/search...ers&category0=

You will need these, as you have a LN3 with the tube in the front valve cover.

Yes the 88-89 LN3 used the Aluminum Valve covers... For the 1990-1991 Models they used the Composite ![Wink](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/wink.gif)
