If you have these Edelbrock valve covers the Harland Sharp roller rockers will hit the cover right on the two inner bolt bosses on the inside edge. It drove me CRAZY trying to figure out what the ticking noise was! They are nice and thick but the thickness makes them too wide for the rockers to clear. I've had to go in and grind off the sides of the two inner bolt bosses so the rockers will clear on both banks. There are little rub marks on the rocker arms where they have been hitting. I have E-heads though and I don't know if that makes a difference BUT they are E-heads so you would think it wouldn't! OH! BTW The little fake allen head screws in the top will get hot and the glue will give way and they will fall out after a while. I pulled them off and turned them over to look at the inside of the valve cover and all of them fell out. They look good and they are solid and I haven't had them warp or leak but they have some issues.
