I borrowed the same covers from a friend to check fitment, and although they still come in contact with the top edge of the rockers, it looks as if I will be able to file on the inside lip to correct that problem. 6182874-2001052c.jpg (182 downloads) It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it! ‘65 A100 ‘69 ‘Cuda ‘73 Vega GT ‘06 Mega Cab ‘14 Mercedes SLK

HS's are quite likely the best on the market next to T&D's. What's not to like ?!?!? As I stated in another rocker-related thread: "They're heavy, they're bulky (and not where it would make the rockers better, either), they're too long for decent geometry w/ many applications, the balls of the last sets of adjusting screws I saw from them looked like they were machined by somebody w/a wood rasp, instead of a lathe. They do seem to be a good fit for Indy heads, though." I like the shafts and the hold-downs. The rockers haven't changed since the 1980s and could stand the benefit of a modern redesign, IMO. Plenty of people are totally sold on them. I'm not.
