rocker clearance question

Will Scorpion roller rockers combined with a Comp 255DEH fit under a stock valve cover?

Probably not, but try it first. If no, then buy the higher top covers.

Pedestal mount might be close just test fit w&w/o gasket. Stud mount probably not.

just to clarify on Eric's comment, and help you understand it's not usually the rocker itself that hits the valve covers thus what cam you are running really doesn't make a difference it's the top of the poly locks that make them hit when using stud mount.
on bigger cams then use sometimes the rocker will contact but that is very rarely the case cause if you have that much cam then you need studs anyway instead of pedestal mount.

mine seem to have fit. However ymmv.
They were the 1.73 Scorpion stud mounted with a bigger cam than you list (around 272)

I also have a larger cam than you with the Scorpions and stock covers. No problems with clearance.
