Roller Rockers- Centerbolt Valvecover

I'm wondering if anyone knows if any brand roller rockers will fit under a stock centerbolt valvecover? My heads have guideplates so self aligning isn't needed. I've sort of been eyeing up the Summit house brand rockers, they seem to be priced pretty reasonable, I'm just curious if they'll fit under my valvecovers.

Re: Roller Rockers- Centerbolt Valvecover

I have fit Harland Sharp rockers under the stock covers with only minor massaging of the breather balffle box (squeeze it with a big pair of pliers for clearance). Really fat rockers won't fit. Really skinny rockers like the Crane Gold narrow rockers cost a mint but will fit no problem.

I looked at the Summit rockers online but I can't tell from the picture if they are too fat to fit.

Not the equal of full roller aluminum rocvkers, but stamped steel rockers with the roller tip (Comp Cams) will fit just like stock- no clearance issues whatsoever, and the price is right. Just a thought.

Re: Roller Rockers- Centerbolt Valvecover

if ur goin to a full roller rocker make absolutely sure they say narrow body. and if they have the tall poly locks. they will NOT fit the stock covers. that is my current issue right now. i bought cnc motorsports roller rockers and they are too wide to clear the baffle and too tall for the valve covers.
