1.7 rockers? Is the rest of the motor stock? Have you notices any results in power?

I installed a set of the GM Performance roller rockers, and also wanted to use the ARP long studs and APR poly-lock nuts. They won't fit under the stock rocker covers, however.

So, I bought a set of the black crinkle covers mentioned above. Thought I could notch the right side to clear the alternator, but didn't measure carefully enough, and milled off a little too much along the top, and the notch is even with the #2 exhaust rocker. The "aluminum stretching tool" won't work on this deal.

Anybody needing a brand new left side cover, bounce back to me, and maybe we can work out a deal.
