Will these valve covers fit over Comp Cams Pro Magnum roller rockers? The cam lift is .520" on the intake side.

I'm guessing that they won't but I'm sure that some of you guys will know.

I'm not sure about those, but I do know that the old M/T valver covers (that aren't real tall to begin with) clear my TFS 1.6's with a .544 cam. Thought to be fair, I do believe that Trick Flow raised the valve cover mounting surface a little bit on their heads.

Unless you get tall, it's going to be REAL close. You almost need to trial fit, or find someone with your exact combo to be sure. I just narrowed my search to tall to eliminate the guess work.

I would probably fit, running a stud girdle is probably out of the question though.

I have these on mine with stud girdles and they fit just fine with stud girdles.

Like stated, some heads have raised surfaces for the valve covers, so that might also be helping me with the Victor Jr heads since they are raised.

These are similar, will fit, but are pricey.

Thanks for the info guys. I have AFR heads but there's no sense in taking a chance and having to send them back. I really like the tall Cobra covers but the Moroso covers are more in my budget. I've spent a lot of money on this engine already. LOL

You might also look into spacers. I have seen those. That would open your choices up to any valve cover you wanted to run.
