Hey guys, I was planning on installing a set of TFS Track Heat heads on a friends car. I was planning on using the stock valve covers. Will they fit? I thought I read somewhere that the stock covers won't work on TFS heads? I know I would have to remove the baffle, but are there any issues aside from that?

My stock ones fit fine with ford raci g 1.6 rockers. It should work but it depends what rocker you use. I also use the slightly thicker cork gaskets with no issues.

I used stock 5.0 valve covers with TFS track heat heads and Crane blazers, all with a Comp 292R solid roller cam. You have to remove the baffles and grind a few other spots on the valve covers, but they work fine.

I was going to say what MatthewP said, you have to remove the baffles and grind.

Thanks guys, sounds like they should work. One less thing I'll have to worry about...
