I need to get a measure from someone who has a pretty straight bodied Cobalt ss. I am doing this to see if my engine is setting in the bay crooked. So, the measure I want is from the valvecover to the upper radiator frame that is typically painted the same color as the car's outer color. I want the measurement on the left and right side of the valvecover to determine OEM variance. I only want it measured from the flat portion of the valvecover rail. Not the bulge that provides clearance for the cam sprockets.

If someone could do this for me, they would be greatly appreciated. The motor just looks crooked. It can be fixed, but I need a measurement to go by.

 

Guys, get a measuring tape and report back. Takes about 3 minutes and that includes looking around the house for a measuring tape.

Not to beg or demand, but geez guys, I think my **** is really out of whack. I think i'm gonna have to relocate the side mounts about a half inch on both sides. Yikes!

lol

 

if it wasnt raining heavily i woulda done it for ya...i'll do that tomorrow morning when it clears off

 

Hey man i'd really really appreciate that. I look forward to your response man. Thanks.

 

Just to make it a little bit simpler can u draw a line on this picture to show what exactly to measure, it would it make it so much easier.

 

I would but at one point had to replace that radiator support bar so it should be the same, but i cant make any guarantees

 

No prob man. Just from the top edge of the valvecover to the radiator support cross bar. I really wanted to get measurements from both sides of the valvecover as shown in the image I have here in my post so that I can determine what the OEM variation would be.

 

sweet deal dude i gotcha the rain stopped lemme go do it now

Its @ 12.75 " At The Edge On Both Sides....Lemme Know If You Need Other Measurements... & Good Luck With Your Issue

 

Perfect. Hey man thanks a ton. You've been a big help.

 

np man...just helping a brotha out
