Tony is right. If you are running the Comp. Cams roller rockers and shafts, or the heavy duty Dove set-up, the inside ends of the R/A covers need a little clearencing with a die grinder to clear the end stands. Mine only needed about .060 on each side. I am running a cam with .625 lift (anybody got anything bigger on pump gas?) with no interferance at all between the rocker arms and the tops of the R/A covers. Even the chromed sheet metal ones are tight, but with a little help from your fist, they also fit.
