Great looking covers, I had a set but did take them back, they will not clear the 1.5 Harland Sharpe rockers even with spacers, contact was made on the top edge of 2 rockers where the top hold down boss on the valve cover dip inwards, you can check this with a finger through groumet hole. Are you going to put a coat of clear on them to help keep them clean? If they ever would become too dirty I always wanted to paint the entire valve cover and then polish out the emblem and the raised Pontiac lettering. I think they would be an awesome looking cover then, Dave.

All you had to do was grind down the back end of two rockers on each side just a little bit and they will clear just fine. I have these on my 72 with 1.65 roller rockers. No problems at all.

Yes, that would work, it also would void the warranty on the roller rockers, a chance I was not willing to take over a pair of valve covers, Dave.

If those rockers actually need to be warrantied there's probably other things going on in the motor.

Just like to be using parts the way they are designed to be used, I feel that if a fellow pays $190 or even $140.00 for a pair of valve covers they should fit with out having to modify other internal engine parts, don't you agree?

I agree, but alot of parts have to be modified to be used. Every Edelbrock Intake I've gotten has had to be milled to fit. This is a GM part and they didn't design it for that.
If you want the look of a cast Pontiac valve cover the options are slim. The rockers can handle that that cut off and not affect strength. |
