 Anyone use billet '964-style' valve covers on 914-6?, Will those also require machining to pass suspension? |

I see quite a few places are making lower valve covers for 911 that are like the 964
and use the o-ring style gasket and seem like they would be easy to keep from leaks. But, I have never heard of anybody installing these on the 914. I don't know if the height is such that part of it would require machining to get them off past the suspension points. Anybody gone this route? Thanks Mark S. '70 914-6 (engine being rebuilt) |

Good question, I have them installed on my 3.3, looks to me you may be able to remove 10mm from the studs and it should work. My engine is not installed so no proof of concept. I was looking for pictures of the valve cover to ear to determine if I could go coil on plug. Here’s a shot of mine if that helps. Todd
