Roller rocker now valve covers don't fit
I just put on a new set of PRW stainless roller rockers and now my valve covers don't fit. I have room for the poly locks (I have tall type covers) The suports to the bolt holes seem to be the problem.Now what? Have any of you ran into this problem? How do you run center bolt covers with roller rockers? Thanks for any input.

They make tall valve covers for centerbolt heads, or adapters to put on perimeter bolt. either would give you clearance.

Re: Roller rocker now valve covers don't fit
The supports on the tall valve covers I used had a wide base which had a hard time fitting between the rockers. I was able to wiggle them in there and once the base got past the rockers there was adequate clearance.
I found I could fit stock valve covers with roller rockers, although I never ran the engine that way, just to cover it up.
