Thread: 2 valve cover gasgets on a 392 Hemi to clear adjustable rockers???

Tweet

I just went out to the shop and tried the two valve cover gaskets on my 392 Hemi with adjustable rockers. They do in fact hit. So there are a couple of things you can do. One would be to find a set of industral Hemi valve covers, those are the ones that came with adjustable rockers, and have them chromed. Two you could run some of the after market Cast Aluminum covers like those from Hot Heads, They will clear the rockers. Or three you could dimple the set you have. Its not such a big deal really i did this on a set of chysler covers, took a little practice on sheet medal to get it right but not to bad at all. here's a set of home dimpled covers and you can use this picture as a guide for your dimples. They look pretty good too.

I also have another picture of home dimpled Hemi Valve covers. These are of the Desoto Hemi in my 49 Ford F1 ( No Desoto came with these covers, as there were no Industral Desoto engines)
