I know you have to cut out the supports, but a picture would be great. My buddy tried to explain it to me, and I get the idea but I just need a pic, so I can visualize it. Thanks!

Avoid at all costs cutting out the supports, you will ruin the valve covers - they will leak from here till the end of time.

The center trestle should be ground flat as can be, but do NOT cut it out.

I was in a push for time and cut these out on my valve covers (car was my daily driver), and it will leak out of the bolt holes, and you wont ever be able to tighten it down properly without it crushing the valve covers. If you get desperate and can't figure it out, go with LT4 covers or convert to the older valve cover setup.

The LT4 covers will clear the 1.6 pro mags with no modification?

you don't have to grind anything. just take a pair of pliers and straighten out the bottom of each of the supports. anybody who tells you it's any harder than that is making it too complicated.

true that Dr.

i did the same to my covers and they leak like a siv now

a friend of mine just did what rumair said and his dont leak and clear the rockers

I hacked and straightened things and I still can't get them to fit. Anybody?

Dr.Mudge

You will have to pay attention to where your sticking them, they will be a PITA to slide in position because the rockers will want to be in the way at several points, and the engine compartment is so cramped, getting the right angle is going to be a blast.

I just got a second set off eBay, and you play with em till they fit.

wheres the best place to buy the lt4 covers? maybe a little more money but seems like the best way to go to guarantee no leaks. well thats my opinion anyways

Here's a picture of my modified LT1 & LT4 covers.
