With Roller Rockers Fitted Can you still run the standard metal type Rocker Cover
or Do you Need to use an Alloy type cover?

Using Either Med engineering or minispares roller rockers?

Standard tin cover clears Minispares 1.5 and 1.3 rollers OK.
Not sure about the MED ones...

I replied to your PM. The standard steel rocker cover that can be purchased from minispares clears the minispares rockers.

No idea, never used MED rockers but they look very similar to other rockers.

GR uses Titan roller tips which are very similar to MED and I am sure he fits them under a steel rocker cover.

Lillee and doc, they don't quite fit straight on?
Did you not have to drill out the bolt holes....

Nope, I didn't enlarge the holes, except when putting Corolla rockers under the common Minispares `chinese made' alloy rocker cover.

Mm fair enough!

I definitely need enlarged holes on the mini spares alloy cover with minisport 1.3s.
