Default Mystery - Someone sent me a single valve cover ???

OK... so UPS drops a box off today and inside was a single, take off S4 cam (valve) cover. No note, nothing I was expecting.

If anyone here intended to send me a single cam cover, please contact me ( jmorton@morton-engr.com ) as I have no idea what it is for

Thanks !

Did it come with a ransom note? Are you sure your cars are safe?

Maybe they want you to convert it to GT specs...

Maybe somebody bought it for you at the half-off sale?

Grimly reminicent of the Getty kid's ear. I'm sure a ransom note will appear soon with terms for retrieving the rest of the engine safely. Do not call the police!!

Was the return address the "The North Pole?"

OK... jokes on me... my bad.

For anyone who actually gives a damn, the return address was a UPS store in South Carolina, specifically stating that it was not the sender's return address. I am not corresponding with anyone from SC, or I would have contacted them before making this seemingly silly post. I was seriously trying to return this cam cover to its rightful owner.

So, ya all have some more fun now... Looks like I have a freebie valve cover.

Maybe you should be asking on the 944 or 968 board.
