I have an 88' 305 camaro motor with a pair of 88' corvette alluminum heads. I order a set of comp alluminum roller rockers from TPIS which have a 3/8 stud. Anyway TPIS says i have to modify the valve covers which are brand new from summit (summit cenerbolt valve covers). Now what modification do i have to do for the roller rockers arms to adapt to the heads without banging the valve covers. If u have any PICTURES of your modified valve cover (of course from the inside can u please post it) thanks

Did TPIS tell you what needed to be done? Was it shaving off the drip tabs?

The only thing I needed to do to run RR with stock CB covers was dent in the oil seperator a little.

sorry forgot to tell u the motor isnt even in the car yet its in a stand and he said to have the mechanic work on the valve covers. He also said to add another valve cover gasket to clear it out. So i dont know the effects yet and like i said if u have a pic of your modified valve covers please post it.
thanks
