    M/T valve cover clearance

     



    I was just wondering if there is going to be a clearance issue with some 1.8 roller rockers on my M/T valve covers.

    M/T covers

     



    Measure the clearance before you fire the engine up . You can gain a little with thicker valve cover gaskets. My thought's are they should clear , but check anyway.

    i have a set on my big block 730 lift roller you will have to cut the oil dripers off the in side of the covers or they will hit the roller rockers and thick gaskets or double up the gaskets this will help
