hi all,
Im nearly complete on a complete motor restoration (with some
upgrades) to a 63 stage II set up.
The cam will have approx 580 lift.
I notice the rockers are tapping the inside baffle of the valve covers
(standard 4 bolt mw valve covers). im a bit surprised at there being
a clearance problem with these valve covers. the cam isnt that
radical, also yes , indy shafts and mp roller rockers.
have anyone else experienced this? if so what was your work around.
i can hack up the actual baffle but there must be a more elegant
solution.
does anyone know if someone makes a"stand off" shim about a quarter
inch in thickness which would mount at the head casting along with a
pair of gaskets just to raise the height of the valve cover? just a
thought.
thanks
Derrick Brown
