Default Valve covers

Can you run stock valve covers with Harland sharp roller rockers or so you need to run a bigger valve cover.

If you do have a clearance problem another option is a set of valve cover spacers. They aren't cheap (about $100) but cost less than most aftermarket valve covers.

Some guys have clearance issues from time to time on the outside two rockers. You can clearance the head of cover with a dremel if you happen to run into this issue.
