Has anyone run across the rocker's hitting the top of the valve covers on the 2.8?

I got mine apart and every rocker arm was hitting the top of the valve covers.. you can see the nice clean wear marks....

I can't say that I've ever seen that. Are you useing the thick rubber valve cover gaskets?

RobsFieros · « **Reply #36 on:** November 18, 2009, 08:48:46 am »

And the bolts should have shoulders on them about half their length.

yes thick rubber gaskets and the right shoulder bolts.. Iam wondering if its the cam & lifters i installed

??

Rick installed a .458 lift cam in his and used 1.6 roller rockers and we just knew they would hit the valve covers, but they didn't. I don't know what would cause it.

You don't think it could be where the oil is washing the valve cover when it squirts oil out of the rocker arm hole? Or does it look scracthed or scored?

Thats what I have, same CAM & Roller rockers.. I always heard this ticking noise since they were installed 33,000 miles ago & I kept saying it sounded like the rockers hitting the valve & every one else they cant... I don't know

85GT · « **Reply #41 on:** November 18, 2009, 09:04:13 am »

no... It's wear marks.. 2 marks the same width as the rocker arms all the way down both valve covers.. The first thing i thought of was the oil hitting there

RobsFieros · « **Reply #42 on:** November 18, 2009, 09:04:30 am »

hmm....I don't know. You might have to make a plate to space the valve cover up. Maybe take an old valve cover and use it as a template...

85GT · « **Reply #43 on:** November 18, 2009, 09:06:05 am »

thats what i was thinking....

I've got some old covers if you need them....free
