Default need a new oil neck

i just unwraped my new motor and the oil filler neck and cap are crushed. the pcm was also wet with trans fliud. the idiot disconnected all the lines and wires and piled them all on top.

but back to the oil neck, do i have to pull the valve cover to replace it? anyone no where in the heck to get one of these?

I've had to buy one myself. Pick it up from the dealer, they're not too expensive.

they are a pain to get off.
use excessive force, or remove the valve cover and unlock the tab.
the gasket is reusable on the cover, just make sure you wipe the head clean, and wipe the gasket with a rag of vasaline to clean it and provide a good sealing surface.
