    T&D std ratio on 470 BAE fathead motor. New BAE mag valve covers, intake rockers are hitting the plug tubes. Not sure how I feel about machining the bottom edges of the intake rockers. Any recommendations? Is this only an issue with BAE valve covers or has anyone seen this with sheet metal covers also?

    Thanks
    Mike

    Wouldn't think it would be that much smaller or it would be a struggle getting the plug wire tubes and plug wrench in/out. Have you used those tubes with T&D rockers? Did they actually clear?

    With the Manton tubes you will have to grind the plug boot for clearance (the molded tabs on the exterior have to go) and everything works fine.
