when installing 1.6 rockers what should i do to the valve covers so they will fit properly. or do will i need to get new ones.

 

I'm posotive on this, I have read that you have to mod the stock covers so that they will fit. new covers may be the way to go. it also would be a great way to dress up the eng bay.

 

depends on the rocker. Promags require removal of supports in the cover, the ones that come in from the side and connect to the bolt guide. Other rockers may not, such as CC magnums, and scorpion.

 

I have the CC ProMags and did the modification but
can't remember exactly what I did. I do remember
that is was not that hard to do and I found the info
through an Internet search. If I remember correctly
you can't even seat the covers unless the mod is
done.

 

For cc prp mags you don't have to cut anything.

Just take some pliers and bend the little lip that runs horizontal/parallel with the top of the vavle cover.(connects to the bottom of the tubes)

Very Easy!

I've heard cutting the support braces out can cause leaks!

 

Ive had the proform roller rockers found on ebay and now I own a set of Crane gold race rockers and both sets I did not have to modify the valve cover in any way. None of them hit any part and it fits on like a champ!
