Default Roller Rockers

I just bought a new set of Scorpion 1.72 roller rockers.. I am wondering what has to be done to fit them under stock valve covers. Any info would be great.

yup.... thats what i always hear too. remove the oil baffle.

if you do get taller covers though, you'll need a spacer for the intake

True as can be! you can possibly get taller covers for the fox without a spacer but on the sn 95 kiss that goodbye!

I just went thru 5 sets of covers for mine and wound up using the stock 95 covers to clear the rockers and the intake elbow!

use the stock covers and remove the baffle just might suck some oil! not enough to hrut anything though!!

Be sure to check the push rod clearance to the head. The increased ratio moves the push rods further away from the stud. Sometimes that causes interferance. Usually with a stock push rod, it's not an issue. But thicker aftermarket rods can be problematic. Check all 16 rods, not just one.
