Has anyone put stud girdles under these style valve covers? I am going to add valve spring oilers which will raise the valve covers about .625. Just wondering about clearance issues.[ATTACH=CONFIG]549055[/ATTACH]

Yes.

I cant answer that . But! I have had some valve covers that had clearance issues, and used a .312 thick gasket from felpro , with good results.

What style did you have the issues with? I plan on using the same oilers that Dan used, so I think it will work. I don't want to change covers, cause I welded fittings on these for AN fittings to run to my barf tanks and have a ton of hours into these three sets.

They were some low profile units, lower than those finned ones you have. It was that the poly locks were touching . Non girdle setup.

I can get some measurements for you from those tall valve covers tomorrow, like posted here. And on dans oilers .

I don't think a girdle will clear those covers even if you raise them .625 probably need 1" to clear them.

Thanks Joe I would really appreciate that.

Willie,

So the tall angle covers i have and 33outlaw has, measure 3.5" inside . Spring oilers .430 thick.

BTW my springs 2 years later tested psi same as brand new. Spring oilers helped possibly...

Thanks again Joe
