I love the look of my current valve covers (see my avatar) and they look even better next to that LT4 intake.

You would have to grind off the drip tabs to clear the 1.6 rockers.

Good luck with the build!

Thanks. I already did that when I put roller rockers on several years ago. I guess I'll find out for sure when I get to putting on the covers.

The build will be fun as I won't have to complete it in any special time. No deadlines, so I can be as **** as I want.
