Hi everyone, i have an 83 HO with a 403 and Harland Sharp roller rockers. Also, the 403 heads are drilled for 10 bolt valve covers. I currently have Edelbrock chrome valve covers on it and want to put on some gold painted valve covers preferably with Oldsmobile script. Will factory valve covers clear the roller rockers? Any special ones needed?

Thanks, Jeff

I'm running HS on my SBO stroker as well, with the factory '73-74 Olds script vc's. You have to remove the baffle's though. Use the cork gaskets, they are a little thicker

They are a little shorter then the plain one's, and a little tapered at the top, but they fit.

So will plain ones work with roller rockers without removing baffles?

Either way you'll have to remove the baffles
