Does anyone have Canton fabbed aluminum valve covers? If so do they clear 1.6 rockers? I would also like to see pics of them installed if you have them. Thanks, Dave

 

I'm not familiar with the Cantons, but if they have the factory style webbing then they likely will not clear roller rockers. I've got aluminum Wysco covers and I had to have my machinist grind out the webbing to clear my 1.6s.

If Canton had answered my email that I sent several weeks ago, I might have been able to answer this.

I'll try giving them a call - thanks for reminding me!

 

just cut the factory webbing and spend the extra $$$ somewhere else.. thats what i did years back...

 

I will let you know if they fit by the weekend. I ordered there regular ones without the notch because I relocated my alternator. On a side not, i do not see how they wouldn't, there should be virtually no webbing on these, thats the point of them, so they can clear shaft rockers and setups of that sort. My factory valve covers almost fit, but the longer valves, and 1.6 NSA rockers just made it a tad too tall.

 

Canton said there are no webs inside them.

 

Whats the price on the canton's?

 

List price is like $240, but i am sure if you look around you can get them for cheaper from one of the vendors that sells there products.

 

Already did that. Just wanted to spruce up the engine a little

$245 + $15 shipping. I've looked around and I cannot find a vendor that sells them. Let alone sell them for cheaper.
