Subject:need valve covers and gaskets in Canada
From:Joy Hecht

Hi folks,

Well, my van's previous problems finally got fixed (the new air flow meter
did need to be adjusted, that was done, and a year of intermittent power
loss and engine dying is ended!).

But now she's leaking oil and my mechanic said my valve covers are rusted
out.  I see I can order them from Bus Depot (my mechanic can't get them in
Newfoundland and they don't order elsewhere), which I think should be
okay.  But I was wondering whether there's any place to get them in Canada,
so I avoid whatever hassles might be involved in importing them.  (I think
Frank Condelli is off in Mexico, so I can't get them from him.)

If not, is there anyone in Canada who knows what's involved in ordering
parts from the US?  I've never ordered anything mail order from the US.
Duties?  Paperwork?  Any idea how much the duty is?  I assume this will
take ages to get, given how long all mail takes to get from the US to
Newfoundland, but that's manageable.

Oh, and could someone please send me the Bus Depot vanagon discount code,
if it's still available?

Thanks!

Joy
