Ebay valve covers?

Getting ready to install 1.6 RRs and was wondering if anyone has these, and if you do, do they clear with no problem??

Those will fit as will any of the Center Bolt SBC covers. you will need to dremel part of the ridge on your alternator. Be sure to remove the alternator or have valve covers on before grinding so you dont get bit of metal in your valvetrain. I've also heard of people bodifying the baffles of the stock covers to clear the taller rockers. It can be done.

Re: Ebay valve covers?

I bought these several months ago, and have no problems with them. I would buy them again if I had to.

RamAir95TA, are those covers stock height? I tried emailing the seller but I never got a reply.

I have ones from eBay just like those too. I don't remember the seller name, but I got them promptly.

I have to repolish them (I've had them for about 1.5 years)

They cleared my Crane Gold 1.6s just fine. It took a bit of time to receive mine also...I wasn't too happy about that.

Yes those are what I was talking about. I am just wondering if they will clear my Comp Pr Mag 1.6 RRs.


I'm feeling lightheaded, maybe you should drive...

1.6 Comp Pro Mags are what I'm running. I had to do a fair amount of grinding on the webbing between the supports. A drill and with a rough grit sanding drum did it easily.
