valve covers
 

hey guys im trying to find center bolt valve covers that are a little taller then stock on a 5.7 third gen. The new roller rockers just barely tap the top of the stock cover. If anyone know where i can get them quick let me know.
Thanks

You can also try to stack gaskets if you just need a little clearance.

should i use cork or rubber gaskets when stacking or does it matter

You sure its hitting the top and not just the baffles? On lt1s, we have to cut the baffles with wide body rockers.

I have a set of cast aluminum centerbolt valve covers you can try before buying. I had the center webs clearanced by a machine shop and they cleared Comp 1.6 roller rockers without a problem.

They're set up with same locations for oil filler and PCV as factory '88 GTA so they should drop right onto your engine.

I believe I have a set that'll work for you as well sitting up in the shop. They are brand new but scratched a bit. If you paint or powdercoat the cast finish you'll never see the scratches. PM me for more info.

I got a deal on a set of Jegs tall billet valve covers. They cleared the serpentine brackets and alternator just fine, and I had no more roller rocker interference. Also, if it's just the top of the polylocks hitting the covers, you can get shorter locks or have yours milled down to clear.

hey guys thanks for all the info, i took my stockers off and dimpled the cover out where each rocker was tapping. You can barely see what i changed but the tapping went away ill let you know in the future if i wanna pick up some different ones
