Ok…I am doing a headswap in a couple weeks and have been told time and time again that the 1.6 Scorpion RR’s I will be purchasing will not fit under the SN95 Valve Covers. No surprise here. So…I picked up a set of Fox Body Valve covers which I’m told will work fine.
Then I come to find out that the passenger side valve cover’s Oil fill tube on those VC’s interferes with the intake bent on the upper…no surprise here either as the SN95 cars have many little quirks such as this
I’ve read a few solutions and “fixes” for this problem, but me and a couple friends thought of something that sounds logical and I’m trying to see if there are any flaws in the plan.
The plan involves taking two Driver side Fox valve covers and putting them on as they are interchangeable (no respect to left/right head side)…this would eliminate any interference with a oil fill hole on the passenger side obviously. We would then punch a hole in an appropriate spot on the driver side VC and insert a breather. Thus there would be the proper ventilation and location to fill the oil. Also…I could place this exactly where I wanted so there would be no problems with location or interference.
Will this work???
