Re: [Chevelle-list] valve covers not in the way

[Bill Vander Werf]

I have tall Moroso valve covers on my 71 with a 454 and a stock brake
booster. There isn't a lot of clearance, but enough.

What valve covers should I get for a 396 that will not be in the way of the
11" power booster?Ones that are no more than 2 1/2 to 3" high?

Re: [Chevelle-list] VALVE COVERS

[Mike Holleman]

Les, Do you have vented covers? If not the crankcase pressure 
can cause gaskets to leak. I use old style cork gaskets with a light coat 
of weatherstrip between the gasket and valve cover. I put the weatherstrip on 
lightly and install the gasket and valve cover with light bolt tension to allow 
the sealant to set. Then tighten only as tight as it takes for a seal. I'm sure 
the newer gasket material is better, but I can get a good seal with this method.

I always make mine out of clear silicone.  I put 
a 3/16" bead and let it set up a while.  Then carefully install using a nut 
driver.  I also install 1/4" studs to guide the valve covers so they don't 
smear.  I never had a leak.  Wipe the excess off and your done.  
Works for me with my stock covers everytime.

I don't know a part #, but Fel-Pro has a newer valve cover gasket that is 
made like the new factory GM gaskets. It is steel wrapped in a rubber type 
material. I have used them on small blocks and they are great. You can take 
the valve cover off and reuse the gasket, they are so good. They cost more, 
but are well worth it IMO.

Do what I didI located a pair of plain 
valve covers,then I got a socket that fit the rocker nuts,,put ink around 
the edge of that socket,,,I then cut 4 equal length 1/4-20 treaded rods,,then 
thread them into your hds.,,go from rocker to rocker with socket,,while laying 
the cover down over the socket,,effectively laying off location of each 
rocker,,then use proper hole saw, and drill out each rocker location in 
cover,,be sure you use proper bit, so that each hole is sized properly for the 
factory rubber plugs used by G.M. in the big block covers,,presto!!! Chevy BIG block "Hemi" valve covers,,neat for adjusting you valves 
too!

You can get engine paint in pretty much any color nowadays.  I would go that

Metal or aluminum? I've painted engine parts with 
Krylon or other rattlecan paint and put them in the oven to cure for a few hours 
at low temps (200 degrees or so). They still look good,years later.
If an engine gets hot enough to burn the paint 
off,you are going to have bigger problems than that to worry about.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Valve covers

Well, they're beautiful but 
won't work. That doesnt bother me much considering the price. The clearance 
problem is with my power brake canister. I think the double gasket solution 
might work. Another solution I found this afternoon are spacers. They are made 
by Stef's and Flatlander Racing sells them for about $80 a set. They raise the 
covers about 1 inch. Just perfect for my needs.

Craig, try
SUM-G3302 & SUM-G3303 (SBC) or SUM-G3313 & SUM-G3317 (BBC).  I love slow days at work.  :-)

As far as I
know, valve covers are either standard height or “tall.”  I would assume that everyone’s tall
cover is the same height, but I’m not sure.

Stock covers wouldn’t clear my roller rockers.  I don’t have power brakes or AC, so I can’t help you
