Default Question plus Help

I have a little issue with valve covers and clearance on my '93 TA. Was wondering if anyone could help? I have AI's 200 heads on with cam and I have an issue with the valve covers not clearing the rockers. Do anyone know of a set of covers that work and are good for this plus having room for the alternator too?

Thanks

Most people just trim the stock covers to clear the rocker arms. Thats what I did

There's enough room after you trim? Also what head package did you run? Thanks

Very bottom of the page has a pic and shows where to trim. I'm running stock ported Le2s. I don't think any other head would make a difference.

Cool thanks! Was debating getting the Canton's but hear they don't seal well. Will give this a try.

I have always used FelPro gaskets on VC. Trimming the baffles as noted in Golen link is simple with a dermal tool, just clean out any shavings from VC before install
