gmliebau Gearhead Posts: 279 From: Port St. Lucie, FL Registered: Jan 2004	posted 01-16-2004 07:12 PM I helping with some work on a friend's 68 GT500, and I noted something that may cause problems down the road. We pulled the engine out to do rebuild and detail it. In the process of pulling it out, I noticed the driver side valver cover scraped against the master cylinder reservoir. The owner of the car put a small piece of rubber on the valve cover to cushion it. We had to do a little coaxing to get it motor around it. Is it really supposed to be that close? IP: Logged
