Best valve covers for lt1
Anyone have any pictures of their valve covers crome or polished that work great with 1.6 rockersfor the lt1 1995 ? Also would like to know where you got them.
Thanks!

I have the Proform covers in black crinkle finish (#141-131), but they do make chrome(141-132) and polished aluminum(141-130). These are very nice valve covers. You can go to http://www.proformparts.com/mistore/...ER&model_id2=0 for pics/info. These vc are taller than stock and mine cleared my Comp ProMags w/ ARP studs and ARP Permalocks with no probs. They also have the superior GM designed PVC baffle. You will have to do a little grinding on the alternator. No big deal. Do a search as somebody here has pics on where to grind. I will add to be careful as to not gring too much as the area is a boss for a screw that fastens from the inside of the alternator. You wouldn`t want to grind too much and have the screw have no threads to bite on. I took my alt. apart to check it out.
You can get them at Summit Racing

I have the fabricated moroso ones, I had a few of them in that thread
I can get you some more with them off if youd like but you can't run the alt. up top

Those ProForm RULE. Probably the only ones that fit over Jesel and T&D shaft rockers, (with minor grinding) accept for the leak-prone fabricated style.
some examples.

Alternator will rub as stated. One option is to get an LT4 damper (GM or ATI) and space the accessory bracket out 16mm. Any centerbolt valve cover can be used then but extra tall ones are a bear behind the cowl.
