Roller rockers
 

Hey guys, okay im buying Comp Cam roller rockers 1.6 ratio 7/16 stud. and roush 202 heads, are you sure my stock valve covers will clear the rockers?

Will not fit.

Also, if you have the stock type EFI upper, taller valve covers will hit it.

Sucks

So, you may need to add a phenolic spacer under the upper to clear the taller covers.

I forget which ones. But one of the ford motorsports covers has to be modified to fit over the rockers. Seems like the baffling has to be removed on one side.

Damn,

its a gt-4o upper with a inch spacer.

I disagree i had Ford Racing 1.6's with my stock valve covers worked just fine!

I have stock valve covers and I have had both 1.7 and 1.6 rockers under them with no problems.

Usually afetrmarket heads have a raised mounting surface so the valve covers clear really easy.

Hi, couple of quick questions: when you say you had 1.7 and 1.6 under your stock valve covers is that also with stock heads? Also is it a good idea to put rockers on a stock 5.0 engine?

Thanks.

My 5.0 isnt stock......

My crane 1.7's hit my stock covers bad. They did clear with a cobra intake and phelonic spacers using the FMS cobra covers.

I just got the same set of rockers for my current mustang and I'm going to try the grinding of baffles thing. Either way, it looks like a tight fit to say the least. I'll keep ya posted.

I had to stack two valve cover gaskets in order to get my 1.7's on with GT-40 iron heads adn the stock valve covers.

That worked?

wow. It doesnt even look close on mine. I broke down and ordered some edelbrock tall valve covers with the ribs on top.

Yea, I know it is kind of ghetto, but the stacked valve covers worked. I had one side that started leaking after about 50K miles. Other than that, no problems at all.
