valve covers for afr 165 heads

[94greenmile]

Was wondering if stock height valve covers will fit afr 165's or will I need a taller valve cover if using stock 1.6 rr?.

I'm pretty sure the stock 94-95 covers won't fit, even if you knock the baffles out of them. Keep an eye out for some Fox covers. They can usually be had pretty cheaply on eBay or in the classifieds.

will aftermarket trickflow valve covers fit?. will I need the tall valve covers or the stock height?.

I have AFR 165's, 1:7 Cobra RRs, stock valve covers, one set of gaskets and they fit with no problems. I didn't need to knock out the baffles. If I'm not mistaken, the fox covers oil fill tube is in the way of our curved intake, thats why it's hard to find aftermaket ones that fit.

I have AFR 185's 1.7 RR (not sure about the baffles being there or not) and the stock VC's and it all works

Are you guys running Stud RRs or pedestal?

Im not sure Id have to ask the previous owner. Still some stuff I dont know about this car yet.

pedestal

I have fox vc's on mine, just needed to angle the filler tube slightly. It worked without angling it, but I needed to remove my cold air intake every time I wanted to remove the oil filler cap.

pedestal

That may be the reason why the stock VCs work. From what I understand the stud mounted RRs won't clear the stock 94-95 VCs. But if you have the stock pedestal RRs on the 165s then you'd probably be ok based on the responses here.

I may try and install my stock cobra VC with my stud mounted RRs and see if I am lucky.

Did the stock 94/95 Cobra covers fit the AFR 165 stud mount heads.

Don't think you are gonna fit stud mounts under the OEM vc's

I used Fox vc's with my Scorpion 1.6 stud mount rr's
and
I needed no spacer with the Edel RPM

It worked for me

I never did try it I still have the BBK VCs on now but plan to change to the Black with red lettering Ford Racing VCs.
