i just installed my built typer motor in my DA. when i shut the hood i have maybe 1/4 inch between the hood and the valve cover. does anyone on here with b18c or typer motor have rubbing problems from torque?
There was quite a bit of rubbing on Patrick’s car due to engine torque, though I’d venture to say his application was a bit extreme compared to a typical street car. His issues weren’t with the valve cover, but the movement of the engine displayed here should indicate that if you have clearance issues you might develop a problem at some point.
This was with almost 1" of clearance in the front.
