Well, I was taking my drivers side valve cover off due to it leaking (with a new gasket no less) and I noticed that the rear part of it was not gonna come off as it was hitting my oil cooler outlet. I thought that taking off my oil cooler line would give me the extra needed room......nope. Thus, I need to figure out how I am gonna bend/reposition my outlet.
Any suggestions? Can I just bend, or do I need to heat? Neither? I don't want to have to remove my oil cooler every time I need to adjust my valves. |

Sup DE. Did you use a spin on or sandwich plate abapter because those lines would not be in the way then right? Sounds like you got a bit of a bind which may need some minor surgery perhaps.

When you bring it to my place I'm taking the pictures. I'll post them. I've heard you say you were going to post them but we never see. So I'll take care of it.

Are your lower valve covers shaved or not? You know about that mod right?
