So does that mean that about half the holes on the new covers are don't line up with anything on the stock head and are just left empty?thought it was interesting that they are held onto the head with about twice as many bolts as the stock covers.
They look just like yours. The GT500 passenger side cover follows the same path as the stock cover. Driver side on the bottom in the pic.@thelostotter do you have pics of the stock valve covers? Did the driver look like mine? How did the passenger side look?
The GT500 covers use all 14 bolts per side; the head is drilled and tapped at all locations. You can see in the pictures below which holes in the stock covers do not have bolts installed. Some of the spots missing bolts aren't even drilled to accept a bolt.So does that mean that about half the holes on the new covers are don't line up with anything on the stock head and are just left empty?
The heads (and timing cover) are drilled and tapped for all 14 of them.So does that mean that about half the holes on the new covers are don't line up with anything on the stock head and are just left empty?
I was wondering if it wouldnt be applicable to 18+'s due to different valve covers and oil pan design, in case I did decide to track itThe issue seems to present itself on track with sticky tires and high g. I wouldn't worry about it on a street driven car.
