valve cover clearance/ pushrod length
I was just slappin together my valvetrane and noticed that the rocker may clear the stock tin valve covers. If at all possible I would like to use the tin covers for now as funds are limited at this time.
Has anyone else used the tin covers with roller rockers? I am using crane energiser rockers by the way. Also I am using 8.300" length pushrods with the pedistals machined .100". Geometry seemes to be bang on. Does all this sound OK so far? Just want to be sure.

In a ealier version off my present engine I had comp cams roller tip rockers on my 460 they did clear the stock tin covers, they would not clear some cheap tin chrome covers I had. worst case you may have to double up on gaskets for a short while. not the perfect solution but will may get you going for the short term .

I am running Crane Energizers 8.350 pushrods under stock valve covers with no problems.

Well with mild lift in the low 500 range the Harland Sharps barely clear stock truck valvecovers. When I uprgraded to a roller cam I went to factory scj aluminum covers which are a shade taller.
