Valve Cover Caps now PLASTIC!!

We were simply explaining why MINI started producing plastic valve caps. Most people might assume that the reason was to cut cost, but in this case it wasn't. The physical conditions allow a possible problem, but it won't necessarily happen. If you take off the caps often enough (e.g. to check tire pressure), the metal pieces won't get a chance to fuse with each other.
If your dealer doesn't stock metal caps, they can order them for you. Otherwise try Morristown MINI.
