Could be that the fabbed valve covers/rocker covers are there because of clearance issues. Do they have baffles inside ? The critical measurement is most likely from gasket rail to baffle, not sure if that dimension is published on the MP covers. I suppose you could double up some cork gaskets, but I've never cared for that. I used to make the spacers, but was losing money on the project. Medici Mfg makes them now; more expensive, but they're surviving. They're on Ebay as well as directly, IIRC. Thank you. I'll have to keep that in mind and refer back to this post. I see that some of the Big Block ones have Baffles inside of them.

I haven't taken the valve covers off yet as it winter here and dealing with some health issues but, I wanted to ask before hand. I thought someone might remember if they had something similar. It did have 1.6 rockers prior then they switched to the Crower Rockers and Lifters. If I recall there was guys running the Mopar Magnum ones I think with the Harland Sharp Rockers if I remember correctly. I'm not sure what brand the tall ones on it are now. They came on the truck as you see. Those cast VCs look to have full length baffles same as stock Magnum VCs. They are 10 bolt but the spacing fits 5 bolt heads, I've wondered if that creates leak issues. Hope this helps
