Anybody using these Latemodel Restoration valvecovers having problems with the a/c compressor clearing it. I can't mount my a/c compressor because of these valvecovers.

Here is a pic of them on my motor. I'll take some pics of the lack of clearance tonight.


I guess LMR doesn't carry them anymore due to that issue because they're not on their site anymore.

@Dustin@LMR is that why you guys don't sell these anymore?

Those are the ones I have going on. Or I should say was going to go on. I'm rethinking my decision(not because of the a/c-I deleted it)

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

Bust out the tig welder and make them fit!
I can't tell you how many different times I've "modified" a set of sheet metal covers to clear a host of different things under the hood.

I thought yours were the same as mine? If so ours are different. Only thing wrong with ours is their not tall enough to clear the baffle over aftermarket RR's.

Yes I have the same as yours. From the pics above I thought they were the same I haven't looked at mine for a couple months. Haven't worked on my car in two weeks(shop got crazy busy and so have I)
