so im midway through swapping out my d9s for some brand spanking new afr 165s with trickflow 1.6 roller rockers, and noticed that i am going to need some new valve covers. does anybody happen to know what height is required to clear everything¿

any other valve cover tips you might have are appreciated

stock vc with the baffle cut out should work.

ya use a dremel to cut out the baffle and it will clear. It worked for my 1.7 rockers on stock heads, i think it should for the AFRs to but idk i dont have them.
If there not on the car yet you could put on a rocker and then set the valve cover on the head, then take two push rods put one up through the guide (where its suppose to go) and one up though the valve guide and move the rocker back and forth to see if it clears. remember the gasket will give you that extra little bit of clearance to tho.
Athough this is assuming that the heads have not had the valves assembled on it yet.

i just put the pushrods in their place, put 2 rockers on, then put the valve cover on. didnt fit. no worrys, just have to stop by the auto parts store in the morning.

You can have my crome ones if you want, they worked fine, I just got a new set of Cobra Valve covers.
