Roller Rocker Valve Cover Mods

[mtocrs1]

So I installed some roller rockers and I thought all would be needed to retain the stock valve covers was the valve cover spacers....
My passenger side valve cover doesn't fit. The baffle for the breather is contacting the rocker shaft. I plan to cut the baffle out. Anyone else done this? Will I start dripping oil out of the breather with the baffle removed?

You will probably start pouring oil without that divider.

Can you shorten the rocker shaft a little to clear the baffle without compromising the assembly?

I ran the stock ones with T&D 1.65 rockers with valve cover extension with no problem. I cut out the baffle and used the angle vale cover breather on driver side. Very little to no leak.

So you didn't run a breather on passenger side?

No it hits good. Would rather mod cheap valve covers then rockers. Thinking about epoxy my own baffle in

Yes ran a small push in style but leave the baffle in the passenger side just mod the driver.

Hmmm I don't need to mod the driver side it fits fine.

 

[mtocrs1]

No baffle in my driver side to begin with.

OK on the passenger side I also taped the baffle closer to the front Of the valve cover. I didn't need much for it to clear. I also ground down the bolt shafts for clearance. My passenger side were thicker than my driver side but I ground down both valve covers.

Got mine modified and it works ugly but works

Forgot to get picture of finished product...
The plate got epoxied to the breather side of what is left of the original baffle

Good call but then I would have to polish it and but a fancy breather for it as well. I should have just bought some new valve covers... What a pain in the rear
