|  Will 1.7 roller tip rockers clear stock valve covers. I was about to buy some tall valve covers and a 1' phenolic spacer. The problem is my girlfriend bought me some nice chrome valve covers that say 302 on them but they are stock height. I would hate to have to tell her they wont work and I am pretty sure that they wont but just wanted to make sure. Thanks,

|  They'll work, but you'll need to remove the baffle and do a little grinding.

| 89 Cobra LX is right, I'm using the stock valve covers on mine, the oil baffle was removed and there was a little grinding done where the baffle bolted on.

| Same here, stockers all the way (no grinding at all, just removed the baffles)
