[TR] Valvecover issue

[Jim Henningsen]

Team,
Successfully ground the top inch of the valve cover tube so the cap goes back on.  Had to use the toughest grinding disc I had.  Thanks for the replies.

His is an early 4 with similar setup to TR3. Any ideas on what to do.  I heard I’d have to take valve cover to chrome plater to have hem strip a bit off the surface.  Another though was a muffler shop that has a pipe expanding that fits he 1 1/2 inch diameter opening of the push on cap.  Any help much appreciated Jim Henningsen Ocala FL
