No problems with GMPP 1.6rr with the Corvette valve covers. See pic.

know the GM part # by chance?

 

the stockers will work fine unless you're just wanting to upgrade. i opted for the LT4 valve covers.

so is there really any need to upgrade, wouldnt mind savin a lil $$ if stock will work just fine

 

nope save the money for now. you can always add them on later and it will only take about 10 minutes to swap them out. easiest thing you can do on a f-body. i've heard of a couple people having to clearance the inside just a hair but everyone that i personally been around has had no problems with the stockers. the only thing that you can gain is if you go with the LT4 valve covers. they are composite instead of metal and they are designed to reduce some of the noise created by roller rockers. just take care of that issue with your tuning and watch for false knock. usually tuning and an LT4 knock module will take care of this.

You can use the stock covers, you just need to remove a bit of metal from the supports inside the covers. A grinder and a cutting disc will do the trick. Clean them out well afterwards and you're good to go.

 

I need to do this tonight! Does anyone have pics of stock clearanced valve covers for 1/6rr? Sorry to steal your post but I figured you could use this too.....
