Re: Valve cover spacers
No offence but VC's don't add HP. If they fit and are cheap then it's up to you if it's worth $200+ bucks just for a "a look". I didn't mean to butt in but I know your watching your money and alway's looking to do things for as little as possible. Like Tooky said "Flame suit on!" sorry.... just trying to help you save more of your money for the stuff that does "go fast".

If you are only looking for a little bit more height just rtv two rubber gaskets together let them dry then bolt them in place. You will gain .060 to .080 with no leaks.

Re: Valve cover spacers
None taken, I am just that guy who goes out to a restaurant and always knows what he wants, know what I mean? The Vortec covers, IMO, have the BEST look out of any cover I have ever seen. Plus, I just found a sweet pair in the junk yard that actually have the correct holes for everything. The ones I bought in 03 had f'ed up holes on the pass side for the PCV stuff, i.e., not very doable. These also came with the long filler neck I have always wanted. Oh well, we'll see what I can come up with.

I thought that you could fit the crane golds under Vortec valve covers with shorter poly locks. I was under the impression that it would fit as that is what I owned and bought. I never did fiot them as I am now going to be using the later rocker shafts with Vortecs.

Re: Valve cover spacers
How much more clearance do you *think* that you need? The problem with a spacer from a fabrication standpoint is that you start off with a plate and when you're done, you have just a frame left. Everthing else is scrap unless you can use the material that will be cut out from the center for something...
