    Valve cover spacers are available through many dealers. You could stack a few valve cover spacers on top of each other to get the height you need but at $250 a set that might be cost prohibitive. Almost anyone that deals in LS1 parts can get you the spacers.

    Yeah most bolt down rockers are fine with stock valve covers, if you go to the larger shaft mounted like the Jesel or maybe some Yella Terras you'd have a problem.

    02denali, do your rockers have little roller tips at the end, or flat hard ends like stock? there is a difference. only ones i've seen from SLP are the same as stock but just reworked.

    FYI....Trick Flow makes valve cover spacers for the LSx engines now and are available for about $110 a set from SummitRacing.com.
