Re: 1.6 rockers and valve covers

i know moroso makes a nice centerbolt set but theyre like 100+ new, but then again so are any other centerbolt aftermarket covers. just make sure theyre not too tall to interfere with any accessories.

Re: 1.6 rockers and valve covers

I was thinking of something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...id=p2761.l1259 But thers no oil cap hole... I guess I could just pull the pvc valve to refill oil after a change? but Id much rather spend the money for really kick *** ones,That will clear wide body roller rockers,last time Id did this I had to cut the covers bolt guides out..Id like to advoid the mods and just have the best parts! I couldnt find the moroso ones got a link? Thx!

Re: 1.6 rockers and valve covers

The poly LT4 valve covers look pretty good, and are designed to clear roller rockers (LT4s came from the factory with Crane 1.6 RRs).

Re: 1.6 rockers and valve covers

I'd get that one you linked from Ebay. AL covers that are tall = perfect.
I thought you might be looking at the Skip White ones, but on Ebay I think they only advertise the perimeter bolt style ones.

Yea, PVC on one side, breather on the other. The breather is just a ~3/4" metal tube pushed into a rubber grommet. Pull it out and add oil - easy.
