So i got a used valve cover off ebay that I was going to polish up and put on. However I just ended up getting it powder coated instead, so I installed it and it looked great went to put in the filler cap and no good.. I had no idea that there was more than one type of cap for saturns and neather did the local saturn dealer. I solved the problem for now but I had to get a ugly cheap shity one from Pep Boys and it doesnt even go in all the way. The old cover had the typical notch that the cap tightend down to, but on the new one it needs a threaded one like hondas and nissans take. Does anyone know what I am talking about, everyone I bring this to looks at me like im retarded... And it looks retarded with the one that i have on it right now so i really need the right one..

I have seen two types of Caps for the aluminum valve covers. I gave both of the ones I had to Luis when I sold him the car. One was a grey plastic with no writing on it that was kind of porous. The other was the plack plastic one with writing on it that looked just like the one on the composite coversJeff W.

Yeah, I ran into the same problem. My issue was between a '92 aluminum valve cover and a '93. I too noticed the different caps (although they were both black and looked the same on the outside.
Also, in the aluminum valve covers I noticed an extra bolt location in the plug valley. My '93 had only three and this other one had four. I noticed it AFTER I had sanded and prepped the cover for paint lol.
