Need HELP ASAP!!! please

i have 1.6 rockers and i set on the valve cover (engine not done) and it seems to clear, at least on the driver's side. Not too sure bout the 1.7s. You can try a tall valve cover to be certain, which may cause you to run an intake spacer, which may cause hood clearance issues. Like someone else said, its a vicious cycle.
 
The guy I bought my car from put on the tall rocker covers, then a 1 inch intake spacer, then there were hood clearance issues. He could not get the stock covers to fit with the 1.7s. I also have trick flow heads don't know if that makes any diffrence. Good luck
