You know, this could explain a lot....

Holy ****.... I didn't sleep worth a s4!t last night. Luckily this is a 4 day week.

Also have one of the state's biggest Demolition Derby's coming up this weekend.... can't wait.

 

Get your 3V timing kits while they are still in stock lol
Whitey you can stock up and make some good profits when you open your garage lol

 

Man, that is tempting. I know so many people that have issues with these things.

 

Found 'em, White. QTY (12) with washers.



Probably form THIS SET. Sent you a PM.

Interesting, I have those listed as being an inch long from the factory. I will measure tonight though and see if they will work.

 

Makes me wonder if that's why you had a hard time getting them to work for you? The GT/LX Fox Body VC's are a little thicker than the stamped steel pieces on the 93 Cobra and 94/95 5.0 were.

 

Yep. These were on the car with the stock stamped-steel VC's. They still had adequate engagement - about 1/4" - with the 5/16" gaskets and stamped covers, but with the Fox covers + the 5/16" gaskets, the bolt end was flush with the gasket surface. No protrusion whatsoever. I ended up using 1" bolts and no washers. (1.25" UHL was too much. Found out the hard way.) What I probably really needed was 1.125" UHL, but no such thing.

FWIW, the ARP site lists these as:

Valve Cover Bolt Kit, Cast aluminum, SS, hex

I will check those out... thank you!

Why the frick did I have to go look on FB marketplace? I'll be damned if that ain't a clone of mine. (Mine is in better shape, however)

 

You're looking at the sell price, aren't you? Yeah, it's disheartening. I paid for an appraisal a few years back, and used that to get an agreed-value insurance policy on the '95. I should probably get it updated since I have the blower on there now. Of course, there's added value for that, but a slight hit in value because I cut up the fender well. Eh, with the suspension and other mods, it's already considered "mild custom" anyway.

Hey, on an unrelated note: Do you know of a good third-party utility I can use to do a disk test on my D-Link ShareCenter NAS? The built-in one just says "FAILED," and their suggestion is to reformat it. Um, no?
