V6 Passenger Side Spare Rocker Cover Wanted

Hi

We have a very long running problem with our V6 of coolant collecting in the well next to the middle spark plug on the passenger side. After 1000 miles or so enough coolant collects to overflow the well down into the spark plug well causing a bad misfire. It then has to be dried out with kitchen roll. This is very annoying.

Just got it back from the garage for the second time and it is sadly still not fixed. I am at a loss with it really. My next plan is to modify a rocker cover by drilling a large hole in it at the right spot so I can see down into the casting well below and hopefully spot the source of the coolant whilst the engine is running. I would like to butcher a spare rocker cover rather than the only one I currently have in case it goes wrong. Does anyone have one they would consider selling? It's a V6 petrol passenger side rocker cover I'm looking for.

Thanks, Dave

These people are breaking a V6 and have engine parts available: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/gazautoschool-car-dismantlers.

I've had a few bits off them and can recommend them.
