got rid of tall valve covers, Huron speed bracket problem still post #9
i have the huron speed alt relo bracket and went to put the alternator on yesterday and my 2.5" tall valve covers get in the way. But, the "exhaust" cover on the back of the Alt also hits the head. anyone found a way around this? the only way i can think of is to have the valve cover modified and trim the alternator cover. even with the cover off it still hits the valve cover...

yup ran into that same issue with those valve covers, had to remove the back cover and also grind down the valvecover area. all for the valve covers to leak and had issues with the passenger side valve cover hitting my rockers near the gasket groove. i would save yourself a headache and get rid of those covers

I relocated the alt to the front of the head...............ok , how do you post a pic ???Attachment 405248
I had a buddy come over who is a machinist and owns a CNC machine. He took some measurements and is gonna come with a bracket that mounts the ALT over more to clear the valve cover. Ill show ya what we came up with when its done.

well u guys were right, i had those covers slightly milled to make them flat and they seal like ****. im sending them back and using stock covers. anyone have issues with the huron speed alternator relocation bracket? i thought my valve covers were causing the problem but the "exhaust" still doesnt allow it to mount up. i had to hack the **** out of the cover on the back of the alternator to get it to fit... exposing the back of the alternator... i can't catch a break
