Hey, just curious if anybody's had experience with this before... Looking to save a couple bucks and clear up some clutter (two birds with one stone!), and thought I'd try to use some old-school stock stamped valve covers if they'd still fit. This is the style I'm talking about, minus the greasy nastiness:
I've got Scorpion 1.6 roller rockers and Twisted Wedge 170 heads. Obviously I'd be cutting out the stock oil baffles in any case, but do you think they'll clear even then? I think I've heard of people using the newer cast valve covers and such, but I don't own a pair of those and I don't know how they compare in terms of height.
Clearly I could just find out through trial and error, but the engine won't be together for quite a while and I figured I could save a little bit of time, not to mention keep myself from mutilating a perfectly good pair of valve covers if they don't work at all.
