those are the **** man...

my only question is why do they look like they hang over the side of the head on the outside????

might just be the camera angle but they look like they are off the side of the mounting surface on the head.....

i've got a set of fabbed and they are definitely worth the extra dough....

Thanks man. They do hang over a tad but just on the corners because they are squared off instead of rounded like the heads. I think the camera angle exaggerates it though.

Yeah I had to clear my mine on the passenger side I am running pro magnum rockers. Might not have to do any clearancing if running a narrow body rocker

Yeah, I've got the Comp Hi-Tech Steel Rockers. They're pretty thick. We can see where they rub on the inside of the cover right behind the alternator.

i couldnt imagine spending the money on valve cover....stock ones work well with some fabbing. They do look sick. But 200+ for something that may take an hr to make is ridiculous cause after the first few are made they can make them efficiently.

I had to hit the cover with a grinder also, Pro-Mags hit just a touch.
I used cork gaskets on mine and seem to seal up great, no leaks. The stocks would work also.
