Aftermarket valve covers and intakes?

This is almost a story of two tales. The first story ends pretty easily but for the racier type of guys it gets more complicated. The Victor340 and especially the Super Victors have raised runners. So if you are running either of these intakes expect to make adjustments. Now if you desire to run the newer Fab covers that the bolts come down through the covers this is the worst case because the intake sits higher and the valve covers are wider. For us guys spacers are the answer. Glue the spacer to the pan rail with black silicon and then run one gasket like normal. I won’t run without spacers now. For those running other street type intakes a thicker gasket usually works fine.
