I just bought a 96 C4 in May 06. I love the car. Now has 88K miles on it. I use it as a daily driver. I am working through the check engine light and secondary air injection system problems as we speak. Alabama does not require an emissions check and the car runs perfectly fine. Every once in a while it will have a rough idle, but that is about the extent of the secondary air injection problem. I had to replace hood and trunk struts and new speakers - factory ones were shot. I do have an oil leak from the lower valve covers. Not around the seal, but between the metal sleeve and the plastic housing for the valve cover. I've been told that it can be permanently solved by purchasing aluminum valve covers. I'm currently trying to research that project. Replace spark plugs, wires, and distributor caps myself. A lot of work, but well worth it.

My 96 993 C4 lower valve cover is leaking oil around the metal sleeve in the plastic housing. I tried to replace the gasket with no luck. I've heard you can upgrade to one piece aluminum valve covers. Anybody have any experience with them? Who makes a good set at a good price? Any help would be great, I'm tired of the blue smoke at red lights. Thanks.
