Valve Cover Clearance Question
When I bought my car, it came with tall aftermarket valve covers. The engine has comp cams roller tip rockers and I'm wondering how to tell if they'll fit under some new covers I bought that are much shorter in height. The new valve covers are a set of used aluminum covers like what originally came on an l82 or lt1 corvette.

After grinding the drip tabs and removing one of the internal vent covers from the factory LT-1 valve covers, I was able to run the comp high end roller rockers using AFR 195 heads and a 545/555 - 230,236 duration roller cam with no issues. I am currently running a Jessel shaft rocker system under the same covers.....no clearance issues.
