Default installed GM LT4 roller rocker kit

I have the valve lash set but the valve covers won't go on. I think the tabs in the valve covers aren't clearing the new rockers. Should I try to remove the tabs from the valve covers or do I need LT4 rocker covers?

You should be able to just grind down the drip tabs and you'll be fine. Using a dremel tool or a die grinder will do the trick. Just be sure and clean out all of the debries when finished. You don't want any of that crud floating around in your motor.

AND, you're not gonna get away that easy! You've got to tell us a little bit about yourself and your car. I looked up your posts and I see a few questions but no info from you. Tell us about yourself and your car, post some pictures and such. The more we know about your car the more we can help for any given question.
