Rocker arm hitting valve cover????
« on: May 04, 2010, 05:01:35 PM »
I switched to Low profile Valve covers to clear my new exhaust manifolds on my bbf, and now the center rocker arm on the right side of the motor is tapping the valve cover . I have stock valve train and use cork gaskets . Everything is tight . Is this normal and how cani fix it .

Run a thicker gasket or you can silicone 2 gaskets together to make a thicker gasket.

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

Ball peen hammer on the inside and a little torch work?   It won't leak like double gaskets may.
