Valve Cover Clearance with 1.6RRs
Valve Cover Clearance with 1.6RRs
I just installed pro mags and the valve covers won't clear. Is there a place were I can get a set that will fit or can the stock ones be modified to do so? Thanks
Re: Valve Cover Clearance with 1.6RRs
the problem is there is a piece of metal that slides inbetween the rockers. You need to get some pliers and bend the valve covers straight (be careful not to mess up the bolt holes, keep the bolts in the holes in the valvecover). It is a little tricky, but you will see what i am talking about.

or you can cut the brace that goes between the rockers. Look in my signature and click on the install page. go to the RR install page and you will see what I'm talking about...
EDIT:
ok sorry i just looked back on the page and we didn't post those pictures. lemme see if i can find it...

you will see a tiny lip on that support piece, that lip needs to be bent flat to fit in between the rockers, you will only need to bend that lip on the side of the valve cover closest to the intake manifold, the other side doesnt sit between the rockers so it wont need bent
