Can you use your stock valve covers when you install your 1.6 roller rockers with the hot cam kit?

I'm assuming you're referring to the GM Performance 1.6 aluminum roller rockers that come in the Hot Cam Kit. Mine also went on without cutting, but it's common to have to modify the bracing inside the cover.

I'm also running a passenger valve cover on the driver-side head, I thought for sure I was going to have clearance issues.

I am running Comp Cam Magnum rockers. They are great IMO. They have done the job very well and I had no clearance issues.
