Default Stock valve covers

I know that Jesel shaft mount rockers will not fit under a stock cover but will everything else? I'm going to run Comp Pro Mag 1.85 and i want to be prepared when I install them. Thanks for the help.

my harland sharp rockers cleared the covers fine, although i had to clearance the inside of the gasket surface on the heads. that edge just barely touched the back side of the rocker.

there is a company that makes valve cover spacers for the ls1...although they are $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

still cheaper than new cover though

I put the comps on a GTO and had to remove splash shields under the covers to clear the studs but otherwise they fit fine.....
