**searched** how to modify stock valve covers to fit roller rockers...

I have just installed a set of Comp Pro Mag 1.6 roller rockers with posi-locks.
they are comp part # 1318-16

what can I do to get my stock valve covers to fit??
if they wont, what are my options for replacement valve covers???

I thought about buying adapters and running perimeter bolt valve covers, but I'm not even sure that the adapters would fit between the rockers...

Theres no need to do that all you have to do is cut the webbing that goes from the valve cover to the piece that the bolt goes through and they will fit trust me i have those same rocker arms and my fit just cut out about an inch off the bottom they will slide right on hope it helps Later Daniel

I didn't even cut mine, just bent the lip at the bottom straight and squeeze the baffle a little.
