Default Need slightly taller 502 valve covers...

New Scorpion Marine Endurance Roller Rockers
#4014 need an additional 1/4" or so clearance and rather not make it happen with modifying &/or gasket bunching. Does Chevy make a 502 valve cover that clears these rocker arms? Don't have to be anything special just need 3 holes & fit the Gen VI heads, EMI Thunder Exhaust w' stock aluminum risers if it'll matter. Thanks.

That's what I just ordered w/ CP Performance...3 hole polished and stainless hardware. I placed the order so I can watch the super bowl ��

What was I thinkin'...Now that I have beautiful valve covers with 2 extra holes for breathers (I had the two 3/4" vent fittings & 5/8" tubes to the flame arrestor), are my only/best options to get breathers? Pros/Cons? I do have a new K&N flame arrestor w\ optional tube adapters. Has to be a grommet that transitions from the machined holes.
