Default LT1 with AFR's

I am having a valve cover oil leaking problem on the drivers side only. Anyone running AFR heads with Comp Cam rr's. What valve covers fit the rr's and still fit under the alternator.

Thanks

Fred

None!
You need to make your own.
Some one on the form had a set for sale a while back.
With the AFR's drain back is a problem.

I'm running Proform valve covers with mine.. I did not have to modify the alternator bracket, however I did have to shave a little bit of material near the bearing on the rear of the alternator...

I'm running the AFR 210's yo can see pic in my website in my signature..

Hope this helps

MO

Hi Fred,

Thank you ...

You have email ...

I have made some 92 % throttle runs.... 100% just hazes the tires on the street.

I'm pulling 10 pounds of boost, the best 0-60 thus far was a 3.6 ~smoking tires~

No official track times yet.. I'm waiting to get a few more miles on the engine... But 1/8 mile is looking in the 7.3 -7.4 second range if it will hook up...

Best regards,

Mo

I am using the composite valve covers with factory gaskets with no problems. They have been clearanced for the Crane/Carrol roller rockers.
