Valve cover hitting AC bracket
1 Attachment(s)
This is a 98 vortec engine, not sure about the bracket. It looks like the correct one, but apparently it's not. Even with the factory valve cover with rounded edges it doesn't work.
My question is, has anyone ran into this problem? Is it the wrong bracket, or do you have to take the bracket off to get the valve cover off. Also, would 3 bolts hold the compressor if I cut this one off? Attachment 1351008 |

I had a similar issue with my MT valve covers and the air conditioning pump. My Serpentine system puts the pump on the right side but the issue was similar. Fortunately with a little creativity with a grinder the cover and the pump I was able to resolve the interference issue. The serpentine system I used was for a small block from a 1990 Suburban. My AC pump was the one that came with my Vintage Air kit, a Shaden I believe. Your issue looks to be entirely a bracket issue. I would look at grinder modifications.

Are your valve covers taller than stock? If they are that is the problem.

I know this thread is ancient, but was there ever a bona fide solution to this?
Something with pics would be dandy. |
