Default Vette Valve Covers

I am installing Comp roller rockers on my Camel hump heads. Is there any roller rocker from Comp that anyone is aware of that will not fit under the standard Corvette covers? I don't own a set of covers yet, and sure would hate to order them and find they do not fit over the rocker arms?

Default roller rockers

I'm running an older set (2001, they changed them a little and now added the word ultra) of pro magnum roller rockers 1.52 to 1 and use them with my stamped steel Chevrolet script valve covers. These rockers are steel and have smaller bodies then the aluminum. I also use the Fel pro gasket 1604 it's cork-steel-cork and gives you a bit more clearance. I'm not sure about the 1.6 to 1.

Thanks Keith, mine ate 1.5 to 1 and I found out from a friend they will fit. So now going to buy those chromed finned covers from Paragon, they are gorgeous.

Paragon makes some neat stuff, Mr Gasket makes a very thick gasket for them also which works well fwiw.
