are you referring to me? (I'm Alex).

Send me a message - my inbox was a bit clogged, and couldn't get it cleared out via the mobile app. Should be good to go now.

If you wanna 3D scan you probably need just one good one. I believe they're all the same.

Did anyone else order these direct from Slon but not receive them? I paid on Nov. 12 for the VANOS covers and DCT pan pack and they were supposed to be shipped the following week.

I received one box but only received the DCT pan pack. Now I can't seem to get a response from him about when the VANOS covers will arrive...

I messaged him directly from Instagram. He sent me invoice through paypal and I got them in about a month. Shipped from Russia to Canada

Did you guys put anything below to covers to prevent pieces of plastic falling into the engine? My shop is doing the install and I'm extremely paranoid of it happening.

Use some shop rags. (blue disposable shop towels)

Once you take off the lower timing cover it's pretty difficult for things to fall in the engine. I wouldn't get worked up over it. It's fairly open once the tiling cover is off.

Suggest you pay extra attention to the way the covers are mounted, ask for pictures if you dont know the shop. My guys had to take of valve covers and redo (check earlier pics in this thread).

Good luck!

Agreed, and have them manually crank them engine too ensure everything single snap Is secured. I had two that I didn't realize weren't snapped into place until I turned the motor.

I did not realize how expensive these were. I thought maybe with the Russian currency down against the USD right now there would be a savings but I guess they do business only in USD anyways.

Shipping from Russia turned off by some companies. It likely will be difficult to get these at the moment.

As it looks not much will be able to ship out, or in, from russia for a foreseeable future.

My three shipments from Russia have been moving. One left before the drama, 2 left right after. Will try to keep these coming for you guys as best I can. I have pretty close contact with Mikhail and keep this thread updated on supply.

We've supplied about 50 sets of these, between Facebook and M3P over the last 3 months.
