Re: Valve Covers
Schonye: I've ran the double thick, double thick with embedded metal, rubber, and the regular old cork, and my favorite is the tried and true standard cork. My thinking is that with all original drivetrain parts the stock covers & gaskets should work as well, but I guess the people that repro these pieces of crap don't care. Knock on wood, I've NEVER had a valvetrain problem that didn't stem from repro covers. BTW: the Crane gold rollers will fit with the thick gaskets and baffles removed...local truck puller tuned me into that.
Anyway, these dippers weren't just "rubbing", a couple were literally almost pried away from the spot weld. Unbelievable we didn't hurt the engine, and someone's probably gonna get a phone call tomorrow...
