valve covers, roller rockers, oiling?

[allcarfan]

I purchased a set of valve covers. The covers had the baffles removed so they would clear a roller-rocker setup. I am concerned that oil may find its way out of the oil-fill or breather hole. What can I do to alleviate this problem, aside from brazing in a 'screen' over under the hole?

You can set up a scavenger/catch can system that hooks into the breather holes. These are common on road-race cars.

Other option is to braze on high breathers similar to these:

All viable solutions, but I would just get valve covers that will clear the rockers.

Dont want to give up my aluminum ribbed cobra valve covers.

Understood. I had the same valve covers on my first Mustang. I ended up keeping the internal baffles and purchased 1" spacers from Ford Power Parts. Unfortunately, they no longer carry them.

I did a google and found this:

This will allow you to keep your existing valve covers and re-install the internal baffles.

I have heard that Fel-Pro makes a thick three layer gasket (cork-metal-cork) that may solve your clearance problems.

Sorry, I don't have a link.

That may solve my clearance problem...but my problem is baffles...I have none! IM pretty sure i can braze something together, but i wanted some opinions.
