Default Trick flow heads and rocker clearance?

Is there an issue with rocker clearance and the valve covers with trick flow heads? I will be using the Harland Sharp rockers.

I had issues with both the HS and YT's. I'm sure it would depend what lift cam you are running as well. I had to grind the **** out of my valve covers to get clearance.

With the valve angles on our heads you should not have a clearance issue.

Thank You. I thought I read somewhere on here you needed to run spacers or something like that when using stock valve covers.

Check to make sure. Don't take their word for it. HS and YT say they will fit under stock covers. Mine and many other did not.

Maybe they are fine with a stock cam.

I had to cut the baffles out on on the passenger side for my Yella Terra UT's. I grinded a couple spots on the drivers side just to be safe.
