Hey guys..

Ive been in the Fabrication forum trying to
get my center-bolt valve covers worked out..

see it here: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...59#post2520959

To sum up that thread, I cut out the support trusses inside
the valve cover and my roller rocker "locking caps" still hit
the top of the valve cover ..

I will not use the stock rocker nuts on my roller rockers,
Its not what the rocker's came with .. I refuse

Can anybody clue me in be4 I drop $100 on tall deck
center-bolt valve covers?? ( I would appreciate it)

 

Nobody huh??

all that work for nothing, it took a good hour to
cut those valve covers to perfection

 

wow, got any pix of the fabrication? Whats the make and modem of your roller rockers? Are these stock heads and valve covers?

 

hey, thanks for the reply

The fabrication doesnt get any cleaner ..

just flip the covers upside down .. and you will see
nothing but the PCV breather element and the "add oil"
cap on the other cover.

I completley removed ALL metal supports..

when I take my rocker caps off and place the cover on
.. they fit fine

Im running crane energizer 1.5 roller rockers,
here is a pic with the caps im using also !!!

 

W/ some lock nuts they stand up a lot taller on the rocker stud which req' taller valve covers. Sorry, but buy tall covers. The ones you posted look really good.

 

My guess would be that you are going to have invest in the taller valve cover

Were those rockers made for center bolt valve covers? You can get them with the narrow body and stuff to fit them.

 

Thanks to the both of you ..

well here is something for all us Center-bolt valve cover
guys with after-market roller rockers

these covers am picking up for $$106.99 at Loper's Performance
