Douglas and Ron: I have been running a T-207 "Regular Valve"
(non-nipple) on my 93 for over 3 years. You really need to install
yours. It makes oil changes so much easier you won't believe it. Now
to your problem:
When my valve was installed, it was done when the car was on a hoist,
i.e. the suspension was drooped. (If you are doing yours while the car
is up on ramps, this obviously is different). As a result of the
drooped suspension, it may happen that a bit more clearance off the sway
bar occurs. In addition, because you have better access the motor when
you are standing (rather than lying) under the car, it is possible to
lever the engine a bit on the mounts to gain a much needed mm or so of
clearance.
If this isn't the answer, it could be an S4/S6 difference in sway bar
design, mounting design, bar thickness, etc. Or Hans unt Claus ver
smoking d'ganja on their break and screwed something up vhen day are
back to arbeiten bekommen.
Good Luck. Persevere. Your mileage may vary.
