Tires: Yokohama S Drives (F)195/45 R16 (R) 205/45 R16
2.5 inch
3 inch
Rover SOHC valve cover
Rover DOHC valve cover
Is this for a DOHC ZC D-series?
Yes, 1 of 3 valve covers you could use.
I'm just wondering what motors the valve cover will fit.
D16Y3 = non-vtec OBD1. D15 and D16 valve covers are interchangable but you have to keep in mind the configration, oil fill location/spark plug location & bolt hole location. Once locations are verified that's when you can narrow down your options and choose which valve cover you want.
In two weeks bro, I can't wait myself. I keep staring and wiping down my wheels almost every damn day....cost so much but beautiful as f*#k. I love my wheels and they aint even mounted yet. lol
Clearance issues header hitting asphalt with extra passengers and weight is the reason why i'm moving up to 16's. 15's work too but 195/45 on my next set of tires.
After an hour at SE Portland pick-n-pull junk yard had to munch on some $1.00 taco's at the taco truck.
