Different car, different damages.

well, this has nothing to do with the ford but since i own it, i might as well put it up to let you guys know why i've not spent money on the ford yet.

see the cracks? sadness...that's where my money will be going. to the putra to replace the cracked rocker cover that you see in the pics. was quoted RM1014 from Proton service/parts center but apparently it shouldn't be that expensive. a nearby parts store quoted me for RM746 only and ensured me that it's a 110% genuine original proton part. any take on the matter?

there are other alternatives like J-B Weld where some forums swear by them. awaiting from a reply from them on where to get them form KL, Malaysia. unless anyone of you know, pls step forward. :)

last resort, a trip to the chop shop seems like the best place to get one as i've been told a dohc head roughly goes for RM40 only with a week or two guarantee.

clayton,
yeah, i found it too. but it's too pricey! RM51.90 for it. anyway, it has stopped leaking now after using RM10.00 steel epoxy. :)
