Default LS7 valve covers for shaft mounted rockers.

Anyone have suggestions on what valve covers fit shafted mounted rockers for LS7 heads? Thank You I appreciate your input.

I will be using Proform LS valve covers on my MAST LS7 heads and T&D shaftmounts. I just finish mocking them up and they seem to fit pretty well. I will know for sure after setting lash and turning the motor to make sure it clears the covers.

Depending on which rockers you use, you may get away with just using a set of Yella Terra 3/8" valve cover gaskets. Hinson Motorsports has them and I used them to clear some Jesel Sportsmans.

Try a company called "Innovators West" they're located somewhere in the midwest, can't remember but I needed extra clearance, ordered and delivered in the same week for $160...

wish i had a better picture but just got it out of the test cell therefore i still had tape on them to protect them.

Interesting. Where do get valve cover spacers to use with the stock LS valve covers?

Katech valve covers will work.

That's what I use on my LS7 with shaft mounted rockers.

No spacers. Zero leaks.

Plus they have a great coil mounting system that goes with their valve covers if needed.
