Well yesterday we got around to checking the clearence of my stock valve covers with the rr's. Of course they hit so I need to order some new ones. I was looking at the Mopar ones that everybody has. On Summit they are listed as stock height. I don't wanna get them if they are not gonna clear either. I thought they were taller then stock or what makes them different?

 

i think its about the baffles inside

 

hmm you try to turn the engine over , i had to do that to get my 1.7 to fit

 

That doesn't sound good if I am understanding it right.

 

Thats how you check them. You put them on with no gasket and turn the engine over with a ratchet. If they move you need taller covers

 

yeah because how the cam was when i shut it off, some off the rockers were high coulnt get the cover over them , it says it in the directions to do it

 

you can turn it over by having the ignition wire off the coil

 

Its the baffle in the stockers. The mopar ones dont have the same baffle and have more clearance.

 

that would require you to have the engine in the truck. Plus I wouldn't do it that way cause if you don't have the clearence your wacking your stuff

 

you getting some longtubes in that beast ??
