Don't you love unpeeling the mysteries of an engine bought from someone else??
So now that I have this engine running, I can see one rocker arm causing a hairline crack in the cheapie valve covers on this engine. I've read I can get thicker gaskets, or cut slots in the valve cover holes, but this is one I've totally never seen before! It's a 350 with 882 heads and a Weiand aluminum intake.
The arms and studs are secure, it just looks like a minor design flaw, but I don't want to buy new valve covers and damage them as well. It also has stock rocker arms on it, I'm wondering if roller rockers would provide more space on the pushrod side? Just thinking out loud..
