Spacers for valve covers?
My stock valve covers are about 1/4" too short for my roller rocker setup with AFR 210cc heads. It looks like my options are either Cantons or get a spacer and stick with the stockers. There's a company that sells a 3/8" spacer for SBC's and has holes for perimeter bolts. Has anyone used a spacer and do you use a gasket between the head and cover, or would just RTV or other sealer suffice? Also not sure whether the extra 3/8" would clear the alternator. Thoughts???

You do know that with the AFR 210's you need to trim the four (4) valve cover center bolts 3/16's of and inch, to use the stock valve covers, right???
Are your roller rockers physically hitting the underside of your valve covers???
If so ....... what length pushrods are you using???

SBC LT-1/LT-4 Cylinder Heads
◦Your factory accessory bolts and center bolt valve cover bolts need to be shortened 3/16" or they will bottom out.
