You can buy 2. I broke 2 a few months ago and ordered 2 from the dealer. Like $4.00

oh more than once ive done something similar. ask calum why the bitch had the t-stat housing jb welded on :). well that wasnt my fault it was preston's. i just broke it the first time.
if its not leaking bad, put in an order with courstey for a few, plus a new gasket, and 4 oil filters while you are at it....

Sub if you wanna send me some money I can get them from my dealer they told me they had a lot in stock when I ordered mine last month or so. I think they are like 3-4 bucks a piece and I only ordered TWO. Make sure you specify the bolts that go AROUND it, not the CENTER. I waited 3 weeks for two center bolts...dumbass nissan people. Then!!! They said they had the small ones in stock!! WTF!! At any rate I'm up to help you, just let me know.

Get a FACTORY sevice manual (not a hayne's or chilton) and a torque wrench. Save yourself from future headaches.

I have both a chiltons and an FSM, both tell you the torque specs for the valve cover bolts. I do agree with you to just get a FSM and call it a day.
