Mega-Brace & roller cam...

[oldinjun]

I'm starting on my 468 for next season, and I've never used a mega-brace, roller cam, or after market aluminum valley cover. When using these three components together, are there clearance issues I need to watch for? Seems I saw something here about problems before. Please enlighten me. Thanks!

I used all three of those components with no problems. I think I did see something about some clearance issue with a stock valley cover (implied in an ad or something).

The egr "dipped" era valley covers do not clear roller lifters, and you still have to check the early valley pans as in some applications that one will not either.

Guys,

Is it possible to put mega brace (lifter valley)in with engine assembled? Have a .060 455 w/roller and was wondering if I should do?

Thanks

You cant put the brace in with the cam.I would install it when you refresh the engine.Brian
