{"product_id":"the-rocker-vault-tall-aluminium-valve-covers","title":"The Rocker Vault | Tall Aluminium Valve Covers for Small Block Chevy","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:19px;font-weight:600;line-height:1.6;\"\u003eClearance Is the Quiet Argument in Every Engine Build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.85;\"\u003eThe moment a set of roller rockers goes in, the stock stamped cover stops being a cover and becomes a contact point. What follows is usually a spacer, a hammer, or a set of tall covers bought in a hurry. Tall aluminium covers solve it at the source: the extra internal height clears the rocker assembly, the casting holds its shape under heat where stamped steel flexes, and the surface takes a finish that stays presentable after a few seasons of heat cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.85;\"\u003eThese are cast aluminium, sold as a pair with the mounting bolts included, and the fitment covers the small block family that ran from 1958 to 1986: 283, 302, 305, 327, 350, 383 and 400 cubic inch engines. That span matters because the same cover has to sit flat on a gasket rail that has been through fifty years of heat and someone else's sealant. A casting that is straight out of the box saves the usual hour of chasing a leak at the back corner where nobody can see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.85;\"\u003eTwo practical notes belong with any aluminium cover. Check the OEM or interchange number against your engine before ordering, because the small block family has variations across the run, and plan on a quality gasket and a torque wrench rather than a ratchet and feel. Instructions are not included, and this is not a part for someone who has not set valve cover torque before. The reward is a top end that clears the rockers, seals properly and looks like it was chosen rather than improvised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.85;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe right cover is the one that clears the hardware inside it, not the one that looks best on a shelf.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin:24px 0;border:0;border-top:1px

fitting a roller cam to a 350 needs the height before the engine goes back in the car, and buying the covers at that point avoids a second tear down. A restoration shop working on a 1966 C10 with a 327 uses them to replace fifty year old stamped covers that no longer sit flat. A circle track team running a 383 keeps a spare pair because a cover that has been off twenty times starts to leak, and a straight casting is cheaper than a lost night before a race meeting. A marine engine builder working on a 305 uses the same part for the same clearance reason, with the polished finish holding up better than painted steel in a wet bilge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;margin:22px 0 10px 0;\"\u003eFitment Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will these clear roller rockers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.75;\"\u003eA: That is what the tall profile is for. Extra internal height is the reason to buy them over stock height covers. Confirm the height against your specific rocker assembly if you are running a particularly tall shaft setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Which engines do they fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.75;\"\u003eA: Small block Chevrolet from 1958 to 1986 in 283, 302, 305, 327, 350, 383 and 400 cubic inch form. Check the OEM or interchange number against your engine before ordering, because the family has variations across the run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Are gaskets and bolts included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.75;\"\u003eA: Bolts are included as a pair.

Keep the polished surface clean, avoid abrasive pads that cut through the finish, and check the bolts again after the first few heat cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I fit these myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.75;\"\u003eA: If you are confident setting valve cover torque and have checked rocker clearance, yes. Instructions are not included and the part is sold on the basis that fitting is done by someone familiar with the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will they fit with an aftermarket intake or headers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.75;\"\u003eA: Intake side clearance is rarely the issue on a small block, but accessory brackets and heater hose routing sometimes are.
