...with my headers.
I picked up a set of aluminum valve covers that tmsoko had laying around his garage. I knew in order to get them to fit I would need to massage them around the alternator area. Well, I didn't even get that far.
Just from looking at my setup, I could tell the passenger side wasn't going to fit because of the EGR bung on my headers. But, I figured that could be removed and sealed up if necessary. The driver's side looked like it had a decent chance of working (and this is my problematic side with the rockers vs valve cover contact).. so I tore the motor down and removed the one side.
Well.. lets just say that I could reroute my fuel lines (problem #1) and the fat AC line that runs across the front of the motor (problem #2)... the valve cover would still contact the headers on that side.
