If you lay the valve covers down on something flat and level and get your eye down level and look, you'll see that the valve covers are raised slightly on one side so the rocker arms wont hit them when the pushrods open the valves. The pushrods need more clearance so they get the higher side of the valve cover. Hard to start as in Cranking Slow is Ground wire off from head to firewall Or valve covers pressing against rockers. Give me make, model, year & motor | |
