What?  You cover doesn't have the breather holes :o  You need those breather holes.

If you want, I'll trade covers with you, and then I can just cut breather holes in your cover with my special "breather hole template"   ;)  

Someone said that when the cover gets oil on it, it warps.  I don't know if that was the cause or not, but mine was definitely exposed to lots of oil and it is definitely warped.  That's why the W.P. pulley and the belt wore holes in it.

Where did you get your replacement and how much $$$ (if you don't mind my asking)?
