Stock chrome ones will work on Harland Sharpe rockers if

1. Snip off the drippers from the drip rail

2. trim/snip the oil cap/breather baffles(or remove them entirely)

3. radius the corner of the rockers(2 of them)used on the intakes that are nearest the indentation for the hold down bolts.

4. Use the 5/16 thick VC gaskets

Roller rockers other than Harland Sharpe that have a nice radius instead of being squared off may not need to be radiused

Note intake on #1, ditto for intake on #7

I run these tall covers now cause I like them so much, but I did use modified stock ones before.
