The original rocker covers on my 1992 LT-1 were modified to accept roller rockers. The mods looked like they were made with a Dremel. My aftermarket covers accept RRs without modification.

It is a simple modification, just grind or cut off the drip tabs inside the valve covers, don't break them off or you risk a hole in the cover. Use either a dremel with a small cutoff wheel and cut them off. The stock cover will then work just fine.
