Default Webster stud girdles with Keith Eckerd 2pc valve covers

Can I make the Keith Eckard two piece valve covers work with Webster stud girdles and have enough clearance with the three-quarter or 1 inch valve cover spacers does anybody have any experience with it? Motors are
world block low decks and world heads
cmi etop exhaust with roller rockers
looking to add space for Webster girdle
doable ?

Not sure what cam is used, but the motors are
555ci blown with 875hp dyno
they just tried fitting the girdle for valve cover clearance

Instead the Webster’s designed shape extends
to far in the way of the quick release wing bolts

looking at the pictures of the Howard cams girdle any one know if they could clear
wing bolts and spaced up to fit? 3/4 to 1 inch
maybe?

why are you going to a stud girdle???
added strength in rocker system, i would guess.
i almost wish i had set up on my motors. get tired of adjusting rockers.
but , my engine builder doesn't like them , said dont need running only 5500--5700 rpm.

the more aggressive the valve train and spring pressures it will flex the rocker studs, that's why some go to shaft rockers, I run the websters also, good choice
