what to adjust in stock valve covers to clear 1.6rr's?
hi guys
i know we need to "modify" our stock valve covers to clear the 1.6rr's. but what exactly do i need to do? just flatten the parts that are protruding on the supports? thank you very much.

What kind 1.6 rr's did you get? Although you have to do some grinding to make the 1.6 rr's to fit, there are some that will just not fit.
Just play it by ear, trial and error method, as you go. Start test fitting them, see where is hitting, and grind. You may want to make sure you keep the integrity of the valve covers true. In other words, don't grind too much where you would make the supports weak.

thats the thing. i dont wanna "weaken" the vc's too much by removing the wrong parts. so basically its just the 90* bend protruding from the supports that needs grinding or bending? thank you.
