Valve Covers ... Rocker Clearance

I have Comp Cams roller tip rockers in my 350. They have a ratio of 1.52.

Do I need taller than normal valve covers or would standard 350 chrome covers fit?

Thanks

Believe standard valve covers will work OK. Full roller rockers are the ones that usually, if not always, require taller valve covers.

I also have those rockers. I have the stock aluminum covers with
a gasket that is 1/4" + thick. No problems.

I have the Crane gold roller rockers on my Sportman II heads with these valve covers with no fit problems. :)
