Removing the passenger's side valve cover
 

The car is a 95 Z28. Want to look under the right side valve cover. Noticed the cover is notched to allow the alternator to fit. Can I get the cover off without removing the alternator? Or is it easier just to remove the belt and remove it?

Al

must remove alt..Then,.put it back on after u look at rockers and pushrods and SPRAY IT! lol

Yeah take off the alternator it's just a few bolts

Thanks, and I am not going to spray it:)

Went 12.66 @ 107 last night. I'm not happy:(

What are the mods???

Just bought the car, don't know a hell of a lot about it. Has long tube headers, the throttle body says Edelbrock and BBK on it. Has a Schneider cam. .555 lift, 288, 296 duration 112 lobe separation. Has some kind of Aluminum tube with a cone shaped air filter, TH400 w/ some low stall, under 3,000 with the lever of HP it's making. Came to me with no rear axle or torque arm. Has a S-60 and UMI on it now. TH400 trans. No brake, no line lock, and no horsepower:) Also has a wet Nitrous kit but I am not using it.

Been fighting a miss from the get go. Thought I had it but it's still there. Found bad plug wires on 2, 4 and 5. Fixed them as good as I could and am waiting for a new set. Also fighting DTC code 42 but I'm about convinced it a BS code from having an MSD ignition.

Here is what the time card from last night says: 60' 1.776 330' 5.192

1/8 8.059 @ 85.06

1000' 10.560

1/4 12.666 @ 107.16

The reason I want to pull the valve cover is to see why I'm getting knock counts. And to see what's in there;)

Al

if you have a primary hitting anywhere it will cause a false knock

Not to :hijack: but what do you mean by that? could possibly help me with a problem on my car:D

Do you realize how rare your car is? There are very few Formulas and Trans Am's with 6-speed in them for 93. Hold on to it, it's worth a crap load of money already. My T/A is 1 of only 88 with T-Tops and a 6-speed!!!!!

It means what it meant.. Was getting knock and tuning wouldn't fix it .. Ended up narrowing it down to my #8 primary hitting/ vibrating on the cars frame rail..

Thanks for asking that, I was wondering too:)

Al

Honestly, unless it's an LT4 Firehawk or SS, "rarity" means jack squat in terms of real world value. Your car isn't worth any more than any other 93 f-body, all things considered.

What heads are on the car?

Im pretty sure he means the header tubes (primares) hitting anywhere on the frame, k-member, etc...

X2...break down options far enough on any car and it's "rare"...

Pulled both covers. Found Comp Cams Hi-Tech steel roller tipped rocker arms and who knows springs. They have two blue stripes on them:)

Also found a 3/8" standard bolt holding the alternator.

That's it. I'm selling my LT1.
