That may not be totally true, depending on the cam lift. When I built
the 426 wedge for my 64 Polara 3 years ago I installed a 513" lift
Lunati cam. I had to install adjustable rockers, so I used stock cast
adjustables. They hit the baffles in the steel valve covers and rattled
terribly. I took them off and there were little dents in the baffles
where they had been hit. I used a rounded hammer and dinged them a
little further to fix the issue. Now, I have M/T covers on there's no
problem. The previous 413 motor had a 509" cam and stamped rockers, but
they never hit the vc.
