Any rocker arm valve cover clearance probs with TFS TW heads?

5ohCOUPE · 03-12-2003, 10:31 PM

Is there any problems with the Twisted Wedge heads and rocker arm clearance problems with the 91 cast style valve cover? Im going to be using 1.7 stud mound rockers which will bring the lift to .541. My friend has a "B" cam with these valve covers with no problems but its only .480 lift.

I went with Crane 1.7's w/ pedestal mounts, E cam, and older style Twisted Wedges.
I remember hearing that the v covers on the HO would clear them but decided to get the Trick Flow standard height covers just for looks. This may not be true if you are not using pedestals. The only PIA was that you have to buy their oil filler cap kit or get a generic oil cap/filler.

You oughta call Trick Flow. They have probably been asked that question hundreds of times.

I'm using the stock VC with 1.6 on my TFS heads right now and have no clearance problem. (oil filler splash guard was removed by myself with grinder)
