Dave1647545494 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'm putting a set of T&D stock ratio roller rockers on the mustang do they clear stock valve covers ok? the cover seems to sit down on the head without hitting anything, but I thought I would ask before I put it all together and found out the hard way... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattyona12 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 i know the cranes will if you clearance the oil baffle...not sure about t&d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 i had to clearance the baffle with my ford motorsports 1.6 roller rockers on a stock rocker cover. put some clay on the baffle, screw the rocker cover down without a gasket, and turn the motor over a few times--you'll see just how close it comes. as long as it doesn't come into contact, the cork gasket should give you a little more clearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 i'm running the fel-pro blue rubber gasket with the compression stops ( i hate leaky cork gaskets) if the only interference point is the oil baffle I'll just get rid of it thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spoiler71 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Don't loose the baffle, oil will climb the tube under vacculme. Just spend some time with a sheet metal hammer and make it fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 can I buy a valve cover that fits under the intake that will clear roller rockers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I am useing the ford black alum "cobra" ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 my shit interferes so much the bolt holes don't even line up time to get a set of tall covers and intake spacer I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtbolt64 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 To my knowledge T&D only makes shaft rockers set-ups. I had to grind clearence in a set of ford motorsports cast aluminum tall valve covers where the outer two bolts were to clear the stands. Be careful and inspect the pushrod hole threw valve lift travel. I had to slot my pushrods holes because of where the T&D's relocated the pushrod seat.

Dave1647545494 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 they are pedestal mount rockers I went with all oe style stuff to make this project simple that didn't happen might be another brand of rocker I threw the box away. I think Mike Ward has me fixed up with a set of covers that will clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
