Dems is da ones. They'll also work on 'Roller Tip' Rockers if you bend the center tab just a bit. Doubt they'd fit on full 'Roller Rockers' though Otherwise, like you said, YUCK! Oh, I also use a 'Valve Cover' cut in half, with the top cut out, and a half gasket, so this way what drains on to the top if the cylinder head, doesn't run down the side of the engine block. Now there's something we could also feature on this program of ours.

I'd also like to just remind everyone, that though this is the NJFBOA, the program is the 'Average Guy's Car Show', and as much as I may be branded a heretic for saying this, we will need to feature other brands of vehicles, other than G.M. Fbody cars. We can start out with G.M . Fbody cars, but we do need to show other makes and models too Please don't smack me too hard for what I've just said
