center bolt valve covers
Does any one know if these (normal) wide body rockers will fit under these Proform valve covers? the are .45" taller than stock and do not have the sheet metal braces like the factory steel covers do.

no, you need the narrow body rockers to fit under center bolts. From my buddies experiance even with those the proforms didn't fit well. Grinding was required

yes, you can use those centerbolt valve covers.
grinding is required to use the wider than stock rockers, if you don't have those rockers, no grinding required.

Where, is "grinding" required? What part of the rocker contacts the inside of the valve cover?
