Do the black aluminum GM valve-covers clear roller rockers? I have a set of Wysco tall aluminum flamed covers that will not fit under my brake booster. I just dropped my motor in today and now I have to get different covers, man I'm upset! I also ran into another problem. My high pressure power-steering hose won't fit into the big-block p.s. pump....any sugestions?

airMale,

the ones hown above will fit rollers if you grind down the baffles and double up on the gaskets...or so I have been told.
