I don't believe so, but when your on the Comp Cams site go under the rocker section.

Hey Fairlane, I think you should be ok, I have Crane gold anodized rollers under my repro 427 covers, just had to bend the drippers up a bit to clear the cover. Good luck-Flandy

Flandy is right...the drippers will need to be "massaged" for the rockers to clear them. Instead of doin that to the original vcovers, you could get a set of aftermarket covers that don't have the drippers to start with, and use them. They look identical, except for the spot-welds used to weld the drippers to the original covers. Then you could save the originals for later.

I wouldn't use covers without the drippers, especially on roller rocker. I would buy the Year One taller units if they have drippers, or a replacement set and bend the drippers to clear. You really want that oil directed onto the rockers.
