Default Valve covers???

OK, so my car is getting ever closer to the point of being on the road. I am having trouble with interference of the old crappy Moroso tall valve covers I had for the race car to the heater-A/C box on the right side. I had tall covers because I ran a stud girdle, and planned to use it again just because I have it. The valve cover on the RS won't fit, even with NO gasket.

What are you all using for valve covers? I guess I can get rid of the girdle, as this motor will see only street duty with an occasional trip down the track. Do Mickey Thompson covers fit? I always liked them.

Thanks in advance!

I have seen cast aluminum spacers under stock covers for guys running taller-than-stock valvetrains.

IIRC they are about 1.5" tall.

Check with PY too, but I think Indian Adventures makes (?) and sells them.

Default M/T Covers

2 sets for sale in the Performance Parts below right now. You can measure and ask questions, I'm sure the seller would help out.

Good luck,
Greg

The rear outboard corner interferes with the heater/AC blower housing.
