I am in the process of a lot of engine work. Basically I need to know if my 1.6 roller rockers mounted on my Gt 40 Y heads will fit under the stock valve covers? Looks tight, I need to get this finished in the next couple of days so I don't think taller covers is an option. I know I read that some people dented the stockers to make them fit. If so where to dent and best way of doing it.

Thanks,

Are the GT-40's ported? Why not just spend alittle bit more and go with taller.

Its not a matter of the $ its the timing. I need to get this thing wrapped up and won't be able to get a set of taller valve covers in time.

if u get the crane cams 1.6 rocker they will fit under the stock valve covers but u have to take the baffle off where u poor the iol in because that rocker will hit the baffle but thats about it everything else will be fine

is it possible that it will mess anything up if i take of those splash gaurds on the heads, why are they there anyway? thanks

I'm thinking of running two sets of gaskets with some blue silicone between them till I get the taller valve covers. Actually just tried them again and seemed to fit even without a gasket, of course the engine isn't running yet. I think the splash shield is jut that, to make sure if you take the filler cap off while engine is running that it doesn't spit oil in your face. I guess I can make that concession as well.

i think if you take the baffles out then you can run up to a 1.7 rocker. so the 1.6's should clear fine if you remove them.

These are SN95 Valve covers. Not sure but it might make a difference
