V6 Capri with roller rockers.
Hi I’ve searched but only found a vague answer. Question will the roller rockers Yellaterra type work under standard rocker covers. Mine came with some badly built alloy shims. I am going to use alloy rocker covers muscle ones from South Africa. Thanks

The pro street rockers foul on the standard covers, but work fine under the burton alloy covers.

If what I’ve read and on my car are true ,using roller rockers is best to use the alloy rocker covers.
Lots out there Burton’s ,Johnscapris ,Seton motors.

I’ve got these covers. I can turn the motor by hand whilst their bolted down. They show more clearance than the stock pressed metal. Just want to get the motor running as these are off another motor I’m building.

Try original cover with double gaskets this should work.

Yella Terra rollers foul on factory rocker covers. I have seen spacers cut out of 5mm alloy plate most likely traced from a gasket. I have had a couple of these and allow clearance. IIRC the gurus like Seton and Nelson back in the day used Crane SBC very low profile ones which fitted under stock covers

Yes this was the motor I bought off you JR. It had badly made 5mm alloy plate for spacers.
The yells terra work with alloy cast ones mine are from South Africa.

Sorta high jacking this thread re: Jr cast covers. Can't understand why the cover for the Pinto are $100 dollars more than a pair of V6 ones and the Crossflow one, also have read that some after market ones don't seal well and are prone to oil leaks.

Double gasket might fix it. I just found the only way to fix them was with screws or Allen Key bolts. Not much room so hex bolts went in the bin. Maybe their a thicker cast or the cost of the sale is more than they are to really produce. Not often anything V6 is cheaper.

I have used two gaskets on my rocker covers to fix this problem, funny thing is only the left hand cover was fouling. Must be a slightly different shape with more clearance on the right. Mark

The rocker covers from JRCast are worthless. I made up spacer plates to accommodate the roller rockers
