stock 440 valve covers

Will stock 69 440 valve covers work with Crane Gold rockers (1.5) on Edelbrock heads? Any clearance issues or do I need a taller cover?

Thanks,

Steve

The rockers , at a minimum the adjusters , will hit the baffles in the cover, you'll need to raise the covers up , try doubling a gasket , if you want to keep your stock covers .

That is what I was afraid of. Thanks.

does anyone make a spacer?

I have Comp pro magnums on my 500 with stock 440 covers and standard felpro gaskets. I did dimple the baffles just a little. They work fine for me.

I'm running '77 vintage covers with Harland-Sharps, 0.650" lift and standard cork gaskets. One still has the factory bar code on it. I did have to modify the end exhaust rockers but they have surplus material that shouldn't be there anyay. Measure the distance from the flange to the baffles and post it.
