1.7 roller rockers
Hi All, I would like to install the 1.7 cobra roller rockers on my 1995 F150 302. I was wondering who else has done this, if it helped performance, and if they will clear the stock rocker covers? Thanks. Brad.

I'm pretty sure that the stock flat top steel valve cover will not clear roller rockers.
Then if you put taller valve covers then the intake will hit so that means you'll need an Intake spacer.
Snowball from there

I had to grind a hair on the inside of my mustang alum foxbody covers.
My flat top steel covers on my 94 mustang there was no way to help them clear.
Looking at the covers on my 5.8, rr won't fit in my opinion. RR were the first thing I wanted to do to my truck but there was more money that needed to be invested then I had at that time. I'm still hoping to do it soon though.

Not really, i use the steel core gaskets and smooth out some silicone with my finger between the 2 gaskets. All my mustangs have this setup and none of them leak, valve cover spacers work but are more expensive.
