Default valve covers? Scorpion roller rckers

Anybody know what valve covers to use with scorpion roller rockers? I have shaved the upper intake (explorer) down 1/4" for hood clearance so it is 1/4" closer to the what ever valve cover I use. The stock 1992 mustang gt valve covers do not clear the scorpion roller rockers. Help?

I have scorpion 1.6 rockers with ford racing covers ( had to remove baffle under oil neck and grind down mounting bosses for the retaining screws. Have explorer intake shaved 1/4". Removed and plugged two vacuum fittings above driver side valve cover.

Default Valve Covers

Hi,


The Trickflow valve covers will clear the scorpion roller rockers...and should be able to get under your shaved intake.


Cheers

I found that the stock 1992 mustang aluminum valve covers will work if you grind out the cylinder shaped stiffener at each end and in the middle and then use a double thickness metal and cork gasket.
