Default Rocker arm clearance..

Planning my mods...
Will a 1/4 inch valve cover spacers provide enough clearance on standard chevy valve covers or LT1 aluminum for 1.6 roller rockers? stamped steel 1.6? or 1.6 roller tipped?
thanks
Mark

I am running comp cams full roller rockers on mine. They are 1.5 ratio but my lift is in the .550 range. I am running a thick valve cover gasket and I took out the drippers on my covers. They fit no problem.

Comp cast steel roller tips will fit stock covers. I use them and have no issues with or without drippers.
