Any good  auto parts store should be able to get them. I would think even

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
