I have a lt-1 motor with a set of trick flow heads on it also I have a set of 1.6 roller rockers. the problem that I have is that I purchased a set of aftermarket tall valve covers and now I am having problems putting the alternator on. The valve covers seem to be about an inch to an inch and a half to long. has anybody else run into this problem??????

can I run a set of tall vavle covers or is there a set of specific covers that I need to run????

please any help would be greatly appritiated!!!!

 

Canton makes a set but they are pricey.

 

- There are alternator relcation kits that may help you.
- Canton valve covers work, but like LR said, they're pricey.
- Here's always the good ol "hammer mod" *LOL* if you are careful.

What kind of valve covers did you get?
You may be able to have them altered at a shop.

I ran stock covers over promags with 7.15" pushrods;
I had to use a set of thick SBC gaskets to get them to clear the locks.

 

you can run the stock valve covers, you just have to cut out the cross part of the cross braceing. thats what i did anyway

 

well I guess that is what I am going to do I just cut everything out of the valve covers cleaned up the sleeves that were in there and I will tack weld them in upside down so I wont have a chance of crushing the covers but thanks for your help with this issue
