Default Spacer for rocker covers.

Hey guys,

I'm drooling to purchase a set of red/black ford racing rocker covers for my EL XR8, but cant find where I can purchase the spacer needed to lift the top TB for clearance issues.....I saw it recently on someone's thread here, but now cant find it.

Also, will fitting cause the spacer any issues with the car( meaning, do I have to have my J3 chip retuned?)

You mean lift the upper manifold, not top TB?

Try summit racing. No need for a tune.

Do you mean these?

I think the Black and Red Rocker Covers are the tall style to clear a Rocker Girdle so you shouldn't need Spacers.

This Thread should be moved to the Windsor Area in the Workshop.
