Default threaded inserts-valve cover

Where can I find the metal threaded inserts and screws that hold the coil cover to the valve covers?

Is that a dealer item?
thx

You can't find the inserts. Dealer for the screws

With the coils removed, you can get super glue to seep between the plastic and the inserts.


Take one of the screws to an Autozone, Advance Auto, etc. and you should be able to find similar cap screws same length and threads. The head type will be different. I ended up buying a tap and chasing out the insert threads. If you have a Fastenal in your area you can get both the cap screws and tap there.
