Anyone know if the stock cover will work with 1.5 lift rockers? I see some mention that higher lifts need an after market cover to clear..not sure if that means anything above stock..or the higher 1.7's(?)
I realize I can go install and determine the fit the old fashioned way, but I wanted to order now if its needed before I get into the build and realize I need to order one.

Thanks!
 
If you mean the 1.5 roller rockers, you may find that the original cover fits BETTER on 1.5s than the fancy aftermarket aluminum ones.

I've used both the stock cover and my current (cheaply acquired) alloy cover with my Keith Dodd 1.5:1 forged rockers, no clearance problems. They fit fine also with the previous 1.3:1 roller rockers.
 
Thanks Glen and Bugger..these aren't rollers, but the forged set from minispares with the thicker wall shaft and taller blocks.
Glad to hear I don't have to buy an alloy cover..maybe later when funding is better just for looks!
