Well about a month back I overtightened my stock "plastic" valve covers and made a hairline crack in them that cause as very small oil leak...

My stock valve covers cleared the 1.6 stud mounted Scorpions once I took out the oil baffle completly...so I am up to get stock valve covers if anyone knows what company sells them?

Anybody got part numbers for some valve covers...

I have no spacer on the Performer intake and I don't want to tear everything down to find out that the "new" valve covers won't clear the RR's...so what do you use...how did it clear...I want as little to no modifying as possible...

I have AFR 165's...

The stock valve covers I have cleared the Crane 1.6 Pedestal mounted RR's I had before with a little clearancing on the oil baffle...but the studs needed the baffle removed...

Thanks for the suggestions...I'm going to get the OEM Valve Cover gasket with the metal rings on it if that makes any difference...any problems with those on AFR 165's maybe because the "lip" is different?

Here is the valve cover gaskets I am going to get...

I don't want used valve covers...anyplace I can buy some new stock valve covers or what do you AFR, Stud mounted Scorpion, Performer users use

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
