What about the spark plug tubes w/ 2 valve cover gaskets on a 392 hemi???
hi everyone, what about the spark plug tubes if you use 2 valve cover gaskets to clear adjustable rocker arms? Won't they be too short? I've never had the valve covers off of a hemi so I'm not sure what's up in there.... Thanks, Bill

Get adjustable pushrods and just use one gasket and stock valve cover

Jerry, I don't know anything about doing this myself so I'd have to have it done. Is it a big deal? Expensive? Are you talking about changing rocker arms to stock? Thanks, Bill

stock non adjustable rockers used with adjustable pushrods----Valve lash is adjusted with 2 bent wrenches. Take two wrenches, heat and bend the open ends at aprox 90* and weld on a short t-handle at the box end.

Thank You Jerry!!!
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
