Default Valve cover baffle

I need to get new valve covers to clear roller rockers on a 350. If I get tall covers will I have interferance problems with oil baffles or do I need to get covers without baffles. They are going on AFR 180 heads with 7/16 studs so there is no room between rockers for the baffle.

Get baffles or your pcv will suck oil into the carb. That's what my cast alum covers allowed my pcv to do. I got tall chrome moroso covers and they clear my rollers just fine.

I agree get baffles. My baffleless Mickey Thompsons jammed my PCV, oil spewed out the breather. Not nice.
