Never heard of one being cracked,it must have been torqued down unevenly or over tightened.
Lexus price for new is around $350.00 although with discount it will be less,have you looked on ebay for a breaker or a local breakers yard?
Another option is to have it TIG welded with it being alloy or use epoxy resin as a last temporary resort.

send a PM to member aliga on the boards, or to member Lextreme. They will likely be able to help you out with a valve cover (or point you to someone who DOES have it) for less than $40.

LS400 are a dime a dozen in junkyards these days. There are 10 junked LS400's within a 25 mile radius of my home. Look in your phone book for self service salvage yards. You should be able to get one for less that 30 bucks.

Not sure what part of Ma. you're in but I've gone to Millis Used Auto Parts alot, and they're 2 hours away from me. But they always have what I need and for a reasonable price. The address is 1465 Main St, Millis, MA 02054. Phone: 800-962-4100. Give them a shout. Hope that helps.
