Victor Reinz cork valve cover gaskets



Having a bit of trouble. The factory valve cover bolts are too short for the thicker flange on the new valve covers. Not too sure if I need special bolts or any thing that fits will do?

If it has to be a stud, you could probably use all thread and cut it to length. It's not that hard to make the all thread look like a stud. You just have to make sure they're strong enough for the torque of the nut. They should be 1/4-20 thread. You can use a thread gauge to make sure though

Been thinking about dumping the exhaust after the muffler with turn-down pipes just before the axle. Not 100% sure but I think the tailpipes won't look as good with the body lift. Just an idea floating around.

Wow that is sweet! Where did you get those turn-down pipes at the end there?

I had mine done at a muffler shop but I know you can get them at auto zone and oreillys to, I like it because its loud enough at idle to sound like a truck and quite enough not to bother you in the cab when your talking, and when you get on it sounds pretty mean
