Roller rockers

[gmgearhead]

This might be a stupid question but here it goes...Going to go with roller rockers and want to know if the taller valve covers that you need will clear ac/heater box?
I have been hearing different opinion's

They are somewhat of a bear to get in there but they will clear just fine. I did however have to remove the heat sheild from the HVAC box.

Tall valve covers

I am currently having an issue with the lower rear bolt on the passenger side. I cant seem to get a hex key in there and also the standard head bolt I tried isnt working either---i was gonna put a post up about it to see what others are doing in that spot, but I still have a lot of other things to do on the car. Clearance is not an issue.

Take an old hex key and cut off about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. Us an open end wrench to turn the key after you have dropped it in. Also you might want to remove the metal heat shield over the inside area of the HVAC box. This actually gives you a ton of room. Let me know if this helps. Once you get the vlave cover off the head bolt is a cinch.

I used a swivel socket and had to remove my harness but not the heat sheild

RJC Space

with my new rockers I went with the RJC spacers, I had to provide a little clearance on the valve cover to stop contact. But I can get the covers in and out with relative ease.

I ended up sacrificing a hex key---I just bent and eased up the angle a few degrees and then it worked fine. Ur suggestions got me thinkinin the right direction.
