Valve covers
 
I have a set of standard merc BBC (502 mag) valve covers. I am looking for an aftermarket set that will clear a Gil exhaust system (with roller rockers). Thanks. (716) 807-4561 Jim

RE: valve covers
 
I was interested however I have gils or they are being shipped and I have R/R's also and am in the same situation you are. Do you know what WE are both going to be in need of. If you don't mind sharing with me I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
John

Stock Merc valve covers will clear roller rockers and Gil exhaust just fine. The valve covers on the 500HP are the same casting as a 454mag. You just have to grind off the drip tabs and possibly radius the corners on 2 rockers. Thats what Merc does.

what about the 330's valve covers they the same? I'm thinking they are a little shallower. Can't remember at the moment. Concerning the R/R's

I'm 99% sure they are all the same.

I have a couple sets of aftermarkets here that I will sell for $50 a set. The have tall breathers on them.

They either are etched or have a plate with different engine builders names on them.
