aftermarket valve covers
 

hey guys, i just purchased a pair of tall aftermarket valve covers and i was wondering what the best relocation bracket setup is. i want to remove my AC and AIR but keep everything else.

thanks

Can't help you with your question about brackets, but I am wondering this:

What gain is there to be had from after-market valve covers?

appearance, hence the appearance section :)

i'm still working on mine using the stock bracket. going to fab it up on matt's car and see what breaks :D i'll let you know how it turns out. check out lt1engine.com, they have a write up.

yessir, i love the way it looks lol and also im not sure if my pro magnum rr will have clearance issues with stock valve covers

def let me know when your done with that, thanks for the site

Can be a number of things.

1.) Better appearance
2.) Better gasket sealing
3.) Clearance for aftermarket rocker arms
4.) Noise cancelling (or the opposite if you want to hear your solid cam)

you can make the stockers work, gotta trim the baffling on the one side for wide body rockers. i'm curious if you will have other interference issues with those suckers being so tall! they do look nice though....

Yeah, on some of the older engines you can stack valve cover gaskets to get a little extra clearance.

Can't wait. :nod:

But yea, its tough cause no one makes a relo setup for "street" use. Adam's bracket is hand made though and uses all stock stuff, so we shall see what that blows up...

street use? http://www.speedinc.com/catagory.cfm?catagory=Engine

Aftermarkert LT1 rockers have a habit of hitting the valve covers. Luckily my GMPP 1.6's didn't.

yeah it seems to be hope they dont hit or gut the inside of stockers or spend 500 on a street kit to relocate the alt. im definitely curious if your setup works that you did

probably screw with it next weekend, i'll definitely post up.

Yup, pics will be had, should be sweet if it works.

Like the covers alot , can i ask were you got them? online?

thanks! i ordered them from jegs 79.99
