I need to know because I need a set of valve covers to hack a hole into so I don't make a huge mess when I adjust a rocker.

The only issue would be rocker clearance, and since you are cutting them open, it won't be an issue for you...

No rocker clearance issues if they are EFI covers. You may have to cut the baffles out if they are not EFI covers.

Mine bolted up perfectly! 1.6 rockers and no modifications.
