Taylor Cable Products (55701–555751): Spacer-Max Valve-Cover Riser

Using aftermarket rockers can pose a clearance problem when they are used with stock valve covers. This is especially true with high-ratio rockers or shaft-mounted rocker systems. In the past, the solution for this problem meant purchasing expensive tall valve covers. However, that is no longer a problem because Taylor Cable has developed a clearance solution that delivers a high-tech look while maintaining affordability and ease of installation with the new Spacer-Max Valve-Cover Riser. These Risers are available in three different sizes corresponding to specific clearance requirements: ½”, ¾”, and 1”. These Valve-Cover Risers are CNC-machined from T-6061 billet aluminum and tumble finished for a high-quality, high-tech appearance. 

The ½” kit accommodates most clearance requirements for the street and strip enthusiast, while the ¾” and 1” kits are designed for the all-out serious racer. Spacer-Max kits come with everything required for installation, including extra O-ring gaskets to replace any that show excessive wear on the original valve covers and all other installation hardware. Current applications cover all the new GM LS1, LS2, LS6, ZO6 and 1999-2005 GEN III VORTEC truck engines, with many more applications to come. 

Features: 

  • For all new GM LS1, LS2, LS6, ZO6, & `99-`05 Gen III VORTEC truck engines 
  • CNC-machined from T-6061 billet aluminum 
  • Tumbled finish offers a high-tech appearance

For vehicles that are driven daily, the PowerTrax ® No-Slip Traction System is the latest design in quiet, traction-adding differential technology. It combines the automatic, street-friendly, smooth operation of a limited-slip differential with the traction performance of a locking differential. The No-Slip Traction System features a patented, precise synchronization mechanism that eliminates the ratcheting sounds that are typical of other automatic locking differentials. Special gear and spring designs reduce the backlash, and therefore driveline windup. The heavy-duty construction is crafted using only 9310 ultra-strength material, which is stronger than titanium. The installation is easy because no ring and pinion set-up is required, and no special tools or oils are needed. Step-by-step instructions are included with every kit, making installation even more simple.

Features:

  • Application specific design available for 2WD/4WD vehicles
  • Gives 2WD vehicles the traction power of a 4×4
  • Delivers ultimate traction & smooth, quiet operation
  • Precision synchronization control makes friction clutches obsolete
