Author Topic: Why do valve covers hate me? 9lbpony ¯ Member # 3510 posted                              As some of you may recall - I had an issue with a set of Steeda rocker arms that were hitting my valve covers. I ended up replacing them with a set of Motorsports "B351" roller rockers (1.6:1). These ended up contacting the sides of my stock valve covers. To clear them, I purchased a set of FMS valve covers - the black and milled ones that say "Ford Racing" - nice looking covers. I just finished installing the upper intake (with a spacer to clear the valve covers and about 1/4" of metal clearanced off the EGR valve) and I find that there is no possible way the throttle body can clear the oil fill tube! Is anyone successfully using the FMS "blue" roller rockers and some valve cover on a 94-95 GT? Help!

It shouldn't take too much work but I really need to see it to be able to see whats going on Posts: 2019 | From: Boise, Idaho | Registered: Jan 2004  |  :
