Highly dout it.
I tried it once and the rockers hit so bad, but I guess it might vary with rocker brand.

I have TFS heads & intake with Ford Motorsport 1.6 RR and the stock valve covers will not fit. The actually don't even come close. I just recently ordered a set of valve covers from Anderson Ford Motorsport that will clear them and they look nice if that's any help.

I have the FRPP 1.6 rockers on GT40X heads. I used a thick Fel-Pro gasket with stock valve covers. Works just fine.
