Help...1.6 RR Valve covers EFI

you can get aftermarket valve covers with a phenolic spacer between your upper and lower intake . I had a Trickflow with a 3/8" spacer and it cleared the stock hood no problem .

are they the crane red anodized rockers?

Some of the things other have done include -
Taller valve covers - A spacer can be used on the intake if clearance is needed.
Use 2 vc gaskets - the extra thickness will help with clearance
Remove the baffle, and grind down the underside of the vc. Be sure to reinstall some kind of baffle. If no baffle is used, then oil will be able to splash directly up the fill neck and flow into the intake manifold.

When I did mine I removed the stock baffle and grinded things down until the valve cover would sit flat on the vc rails of the head (doing this without the gasket in place ensures some margin of safety). I then fab'd a new baffle from some thin sheet of Al, and bonded it in place with some JBWeld. Not very pretty, but I don't look at the underside of my vc very often.

good luck
