Thread: OUCH Hidden Head Cost$

Tweet

Just got a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads- been looking at for years.

Reading the instructions I now need to take off my stamped steel 1.6 3/8" rockers- need roller rockers now.
Thus goes the cheap chrome valve covers- need high top valve covers for clearing the rollers.
Heads require 9.800" pushrods - TWO HUNDRED PLUS BUCKOS? whew

I have never used them, but they do sell a adaptor that puts old style 4 bolt valve covers, on new style 2 bolt heads, and they raise them about a half inch.
They also sell risers that are about 1/2-3/4" high, for 4 bolt covers.

That is if you want to keep your valve covers you have.

forgot to say this is an Olds 403
with 5 bolt valve covers. think the
taller ones are just $46

still can't get over $209 + shipping
for pushrods
