Looking at ordering some TFS valve covers for my heads. Gonna run some 7/16s stud mount 1.6 harland sharp rockers. I'm pretty sure the stock height covers will clear but someone verify this for a brotha. Bout to pull the lever and order this ish for Christmas.

Thx.

They will clear,Genrally you need TALL valve covers to clear rocker girdles.
I have rocker girdles but even if i didn't = I would have them for the look.
I run the Chrome tall Ford Racing 302 Valve Covers.
Remember to get a 1 inch intake spacer if you get tall valve covers

1" spacer, might run into issues with a stock hood.:yes1:

Thanks man! What I was thinking but just wanted quick confirmation before I order. Yeah that was one reason I wanted the stock height so I don't need a spacer. :thumbsup1:

My trickflow vc's clear my 1.6 roller rockers just fine. I also recommend having the oil filler tube welded in. Thats what I did.
