Webster stud girdles with Keith Eckerd 2pc valve covers
 
Can I make the Keith Eckard two piece valve covers work with Webster stud girdles and have enough clearance with the three-quarter or 1 inch valve cover spacers does anybody have any experience with it? Motors are
world block low decks and world heads
cmi etop exhaust with roller rockers
looking to add space for Webster girdle
doable ?

what cam do you have,,most likely girdle will not fit.will need a space w/ the KE spacer.

Not sure what cam is used, but the motors are
555ci blown with 875hp dyno
they just tried fitting the girdle for valve cover clearance

Instead the Webster’s designed shape extends
to far in the way of the quick release wing bolts

looking at the pictures of the Howard cams girdle any one know if they could clear
wing bolts and spaced up to fit? 3/4 to 1 inch
maybe?

Could not space the KE valve covers up to fit
girdles ,headers Interfered with the 2 piece covers
went with the Teague Marine angle cut covers
to be able to top off my Mechanical roller valve train with peace of mind having the Webster girdles, Holding it together
2 sets of 2 piece valve covers will be going up for sale !

why are you going to a stud girdle???
added strength in rocker system, i would guess.
i almost wish i had set up on my motors. get tired of adjusting rockers.
but , my engine builder doesn't like them , said dont need running only 5500--5700 rpm.

the more aggressive the valve train and spring pressures it will flex the rocker studs, that's why some go to shaft rockers, I run the websters also, good choice

flashgordon 03-09-2020 11:16 AM

what are webster???
rock shaft system?
or its a stud girdle system....
i had jomars on my super gas car...
again i was going to put stud girdle on my motors, and engine builder said , i dont need and stud girdle are tuff on aluminum heads
my isky cams are 714 lift,,,dont know spring pressure.
