Hi guys just about to recieve my 308 and just trying to work out if roller rockers fit under the standard valve covers. (I am assuming not) and what valve covers has any one used on their early head 308 engines with rollers.
Cheers from Mick

From my experience the Crane roller rockers with fit standard covers with one gasket each side , The yella terra roller rockers will require two gaskets per each standard cover .
If your not bothered about the standard look , the aftermarket alloy covers are a little higher to fit the yella terra rockers in and they seal better than the tin ones .

No fouling, quite close to the booster but you can still get it on and off with a bit of wrigglingDo the alloy covers foul any where at the back of the motor.eg booster or heater box.

Another option is a rocker cover spacer or shim, have seen them in different thicknesses, 6mm and 10mm, if painted a suitable colour most people probably wouldn't notice them.
From memory the early brock commodores, group 3, VH? had chrome covers with roller rockers underneath.

Even a moderate size spring the retainer will just catch the cover, but a big spring and retainer you certainly have to do as Tim has mentioned.
