A good way to take care of the alternator issues. I would like to see a GP on these covers as well since my stockers are a little warped and all mared up from trying to get my pro mags to clear those supports.

Re: Canton Fabbed Valve Cover Install ?'s
The tapping was very faint. We actually didn't hear it on the stand and could barely hear it on the engine. I don't have any pictures of what to grind or how much. It was very little grinding, and was all fixed up in a matter of minutes.

Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Canton Fabbed Valve Cover Install ?'s
So it looks like you rotated the alternator up counter clockwise 1 inch? Did you have enough slack in the tensioner and belt for that to work?
We need pics of those valve covers with OTVC looms!
