That`s my concern and you are correct about the HS`s being extra bulky but was always told the comp. stainless or similar rockers couldn`t handle roller high spring pressures.......

Thankxx, I think the width was an issue also but not 100% sure on that....... I remember some guys doubling up the gaskets to clear rockers BUT I forget what rockers on BB... on my covers I had to mill the outer(lower edge) to clear my springs.. I am using 1.65 OD and things were hitting before I milled the lip... plus I had to clearance the gasket.. I use the MP silicone over a steel core.. life time ones)... all extra work to run that diameter spring... even the 1.55" OD spring was gonna hit or be very close

SB and BB are 2 different worlds... you stock style covers (with the out side lip) are the difference.. I HAVE to use the reverse lip covers.. and that in ts self creates issues that has to be dealt with... there is NO WAY I can use a stock style cove on my engines(any of my SBs)

What is a reverse lip...........have no clue? Just like it says... the lip on your covers goes out and you can use a 3/4" long bolt/or stud... on mine the lip is turned inside(this moves the vertical wall out farther) but I have to use a 5" long stud to come up to the top.. here is another pic.. if you see you have a lip of the cover that is outside that I dont have(thats where you bolt yours on)

These are reverse lip wide valve covers for the W series heads. I tried to do what FMJ did on some old Moroso valve covers but they didn't come out so great. Had a hard time tapping the letters down, the metal gets work hardened. Too much work to get them looking decent and using filler would add weight back. Just went back to the cast ones.

Thankxx David for that info and I`m still on the fence here but will figure something out soon.
