I had to use a spacer on my Explorer intake. I have roller rockers and had to use taller valve covers. Anyone have any experience with the Trickflow unit and taller valve covers?

there should be plenty of clearance man. If not you could use a spacer. I had to use a spacer on my setup below becuase my egr valve was hitting my fuel pressure regulator but there was plenty of clearance between the valve covers and intake

ok. well go with the smaller spacer from trick flow then. i think the one i have is a 3/8 inch. ill measure it for you later today. i see you have a cowl hood too. thats a plus. i dont and put a nice little pop not in my hood from the throttle body vent that goes to the oil fill. lol
