Hi everyone! I rebuilt my 4.0 OHV V6 out of my '97 Ranger. It's all complete except it needs new valve covers as the ones that were originally on there are all warped and rotted. I've been searching high and low and was surprised at how ridiculously hard it is to find a decent set for sale. I don't have any good junkyards in my area unfortunately, so digging around in a junkyard is out of the question for me. And as far as I know, there is no company out there that makes aftermarket valve covers for the 4.0 OHV. I did some heavy duty researching and noticed that oemvehicleparts.com had them listed for sale (for a Mazda B4000, but it's the same engine anyway). I reached out to them and turns out they are backordered with no estimated time when they will be back in stock . All other websites I came across say they are out of stock too. I'm desperately looking for a set. Does anyone have any leads where I can buy them? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
