Which 1.6 rockers w/centerbolt heads
Hey guys I am going to run a set of 1.6 full roller rockers. Which ones can I use that will clear my Comp 1.46od springs and allow me to use the stock centerbolt valve cover?

Comp makes a narrow body rocker, Harlan Sharps clear, Scorpions clear, GMPP rockers clear, Crane gold rockers clear with a little bit of grinding. I've got the Harlan Sharps in mine.

I have Trickflow heads and they only "recommend" certain ones. What I did was pick up a set of the Trickflow 1.6's (narrow body wont clear the 1.46" spring).
When the motor is running I can feel the rocker arm rubbing on the wall of the valve cover on the side that faces the intake. Everywhere else it is fine.
Have you had any experience with this?

They only reccomend certain ones because they want you to buy theirs. ANy will fit, some with less headaches than others.
I had a set of wide body rockers on a motor with centerbolt covers a few months back and I had to clearance the back side of the rocker because it was rubbing the valve cover a bit. No biggie though, just touched it up on the belt sander. It was the top end, behind the pushrod socket.
