The valve covers can be very difficult to fit, due to clearance in the engine bay. :head

Sorry for going of topic.
I am new to forums,i will learn. but your alloy rocker covers i bought a pair around 3 years ago and i think they cost around £300 for the pair but the dollar was a lot more to the pound.

Ask on the Mustang Owners GB (http://www.mocgb.net/forums/forum.php) site, I have seen them pop up a couple of times over there.

Welcome along by the way x5power. Exactly how hard are they to fit?

Thanks Chris
I was under the impression that you have to take engine mounts out, but someone told me at a show that you can take the bulkhead plate off but i am not sure.

That sounds like the same trick as changing the rear spark plugs on the v6 car. Fiddly but way easier than removing mounts. Cheers Steve I'll look into it.

yes if you take out the bulkhead plate then they will come out,the plate can be a fidley job though.
i removed then of my old engine this way:)

Cheers for the confirmation. Yes if they are like the v6 ones then they are a pain in the buttocks. Anyone done a full plug change in a v6? Cos I can tell you it's an arse stupid job. :offt

Yes Wyn fitted a set himself , I think he nearly received an asbo as the launguage was so bad, yes it was difficult not sure where he bought them from

Yes I fitted a set myself. got mine from summit racing there is a thread on here somwhere. be careful when ordering different covers for the V8i.e number of bolts and the oil filler side.

But fitting them was a piece of cake, or I think that's what you said????????
