Valve covers for sale - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**67sss** · 08-15-2006, 09:18 PM

Bought these for my 388 stroker motor but wouldnt clear the roller rockers. They are tall enough, just not wide enough. They are black powdercoated aluminum and never been bolted on or ran. Asking 100 bucks plus shipping or possible trade for other valve covers?

Arrgh, if those were polished I'd really like to have 'em!

Are you using aluminum rockers?
Reason for asking is I have Comp Cams Magnum roller tip rockers on Trick Flow Twisted Wedge aluminum heads and was curious if these style covers would clear on mine.

Bump for ya!

Don't have the matching air cleaner do you?

67chevy2wd · 08-16-2006, 01:39 AM

Put me inline. Are the bolts included?

**67sss** · 08-16-2006, 11:02 PM

454_72_4X4......I have the aluminum pro comp roller rockers. Not sure if yours will fit, I will measure my rockers and get back to you.

**67sss** · 08-16-2006, 11:03 PM

kevinr1970......sorry, nope. Just the valve covers.

**67sss** · 08-16-2006, 11:06 PM

67chevy2wd.....I didnt get bolts with them. I was going to put the ARP valve cover studs in. They make it easy to put them on and take them off, keeps the gaskets in line too.

kevinr1970 · 08-17-2006, 12:48 AM

Not neccessarily in the market at the momoent but if you had the cleaner too I would have come up with something.
Take me out of line but if you still have them down the line...

454_72_4x4. Here is a pic of my rockers now. 1/8th of an inch and they would probably clear.

I have a set of sbc chrome valve covers with flames etched in them if your interested. Im highly interested in these valve covers

Green Machine · 10-28-2006, 11:05 PM

67sss, this may be slightly off topic, it is hard to tell for sure from the pics, but i wonder if you need slighty longer pushrods ? Are you running a small base circle cam for crank clearance ? The geometry looks off to me from the picture angle, .100 longer pushrods just might let the rockers clear the valve covers. Just a thought.

**67sss** · 10-30-2006, 06:56 PM

shane 72_383- thanks, but I'll pass

green machine-I'l have to pull the specs. the next pic will show the clearance problem I have. thanks for the advice.
