Stage V Rocker Assembly and BAE Valve Covers would take care of it. Dont sound like a very good idea to grind on your rockers.

 

yeh i didnt think it was a good idea either but t&d says a little grinding is nescesary. dont have the $$ to by a diff set of rockers right now or covers this stuff is all new. worst case if no 1 has a fix for this im gonna make my own tubes, and make them narrower in the middle to miss the rockers,cause im not grinding any more on the rockers. you would think after spending this kind of money everything would fit.

 

Check with Diversatech, they make the "Tru Round" billet ones, might solve your problem. www.diversatech.com

Notch the tube with a grinder for clearance and then weld a piece into the hole. T & D is good quality stuff but it seems that they have these types of problems in all types of racing so noone runs them unless they have to. Good Luck.

 

Your kidding me

I run BAE 6 and Brad covers I don't have any problems with tubes. But make sure you tighten the studs that hold each rocker they don't come tightened from T-D I like mine. Jim
