Maybe I missed it, but I didn't read anything about what make car this is, or what engine is in it.

Many variables should go into a valve train set-up, if it's not a factory stock motor. Starting with the type of cam/roller/flat tappet, type of lifters, length of the push rods, roller rocker type, rocker stud length, and the length of the polly locks. Until you have all that info, I wouldn't change a thing. It's all about the geometry of the valve train...very important stuff.

Bill, 67 Camaro L78. Thanks for your thoughts and I agree.

I have roller rockers on my L78 1970 Nova.Wanted to keep a stock look so I bought stock reproduction valve covers that are 3/4''higher.Look and work fine.Bought 'em on Ebay.Check out the You Tube video of my Nova and see 'em.

Thanks Bill. Those look a lot better than the ones on the car which are taller and have more squared off edges. Nice car btw!

Re: Removing roller rockers???
 

Thanks Mark.You really have to look close to notice that the covers are a bit taller.

These are the real deal. These rocker arms are for Chevrolet High Performance Engines ONLY!
