GMPP Valve Covers + Roller Rockers - Clearance ???

Hi,

I am thinking about buying these Roller Rockers

Chevrolet Performance 19210728 Aluminum Roller Rocker Arm Set Small Block Chevy

http://www.jegs.com/i/Chevrolet-Perf...10728/10002/-1

To use with these valve covers, which are advertised as being 1/4" taller:

Chevrolet Performance 12497979 Center Bolt Valve Covers 1986-up Small Block Chevy

http://www.jegs.com/i/Chevrolet-Perf...97979/10002/-1

Does anyone know of these rockers will clear the valve covers ok?

I have these http://www.jegs.com/i/Scorpion-Racin...P1035/10002/-1

under stock center bolt covers.

Im not sure, but I thought you had to run a narrow body rocker with center bolt covers? Maybe that's just stock covers though.....
