Rocker Arm/Valve Cover Problem
So I have Comp ultra gold 1.5 full roller rockers and they were rubbing the back wall of the valve cover, my valvetrain geometry is spot on so its not that. So I got some aftermarket Proform's and they are deffinatly wider but now the problem is the oil baffle hits fulcrom. Does anyone know of any valve covers that are a little wider and have a baffle to clear? If anyone needs pics let me know. Thanks.

Do you know anyone who has a set of tall valve covers to loan you so you can test fit?

Your stock ones SHOULD fit, if you put them on right.
SPecifically, the int side is different from the exh side; stands up straighter. So if you flipped em around backwards, they'll hit. Prolly won't if they're on right.

There on right, if the tappered side was on there it would be horrific!
T-top havoc, at the moment no, but like I said before its on the back wall I'm hitting. I was going to try to squeeze the baffle together a bit but the side that needs to be brought in is double layered and the other is only single so the wrong side wants move and its the short end so no real room to swing a hammer.
