Dang I just noticed your list doesn't tell me what goes where. I'll have to dock you one cookie.

General karthief · Jan 13, 2020

Yup it does!
Thermostat housing
5/16-18 x 1 3/4" for top left bolt
5/16-18 x 1 1/4" for bottom right bolt
Both bolts use split lock washers.

Ok. I just went back and looked to see what I missed. I see 10 bolts with part numbers listed. I don't see whatever it is you are seeing to tell me which is which....lol.

I didn't see part numbers just bolt sizes

I used 1” and 1.5” without washers

Mustang5L5 · Jan 16, 2020

Ok valve covers here.

And they don’t fit. They are def taller but the baffle hits.

That’s with the baffle plate removed.

Looks like one of the bosses is hitting the poly lock. What to do here? @TOOLOW91 did you do anything to get yours to fit?

Wayne Waldrep · Jan 16, 2020

I like em! I have those without the black. One day they will get painted.

Mustang5L5 · Jan 16, 2020

I like em a lot too. JUSt need to get them to fit now. The gasket adds maybe 1/8” so not off by much.

BlakeusMaximus · Jan 16, 2020

Good choice on the covers, hopefully you can get them to work. I know you were debating on the color, but the black and silver work well with everything. Looking good!

Mustang5L5 · Jan 16, 2020

Well, reason I went this way is I may change the intake. I like the explorer intake, but for some reason I've really been digging a black '93 CObra setup.

SO down the line after this engine is running, I may swap back to the cobra intake.

Steel1 · Jan 16, 2020

I got the stock valve covers to fit on my RHS heads with the same Comp gold rockers by removing the baffles and grinding down
the mounting bosses.
Looks good !

Mustang5L5 · Jan 16, 2020

Did you do anything to address oil consumption?

Wayne Waldrep · Jan 16, 2020

I agree. Grind those bosses down smooth.

Deleted member 215073 · Jan 16, 2020

What about valve cover spacers?

Any higher and I need to lift the intake up with a bigger spacer. I’m already using a 3/8” spacer. Any more and I’ll hit my hood

I’m gonna hit it with the grinder

I wish I had an answer .
You could try and trim in there but both sets of TW heads with the same Harland sharp rockers all cleared the valve covers On mine with the blue felpro gaskets. I think they actually sit flush even without a gasket too

Mustang5L5 · Jan 16, 2020

Pretty sure grinding those bosses down will do the trick. Sucks to lose the baffle but I can deAl with that
