Default valvecovers for 1.7 rockers
does anyone know of a good set of valvecovers that will properly fit over 1.7 rockers. And is their a company selling stock heads with larger valves and port jobs.

any tall valve covers will fit 1.7's also the stock 87-93 covers will fit to with a little grinding on the baffle or you can just take it out if you want to
