I was putting the valve cover on ( 95 aluminum cover, 95 7120 head, Hesco spacer, HS rockers ) and think that the rockers are touching the side
of the cover. Anyone else have this problem? Did a search but didn't find much. Found some stuff about height clearance that was solved by the spacer.

Re: Valve cover & HS roller conflict
I don't have an aluminum cover, but the spacer should be plenty tall to fit them. Are you sure its not the valve springs hitting the driver's side of the cover?

Re: Valve cover & HS roller conflict
It very possibly could be the springs.
If so I guess I'll have to source a steel cover? I may be able to dremel some of the aluminum away.

Re: Valve cover & HS roller conflict
You could try to remove some of the aluminum. If that doesn't work you could get a steel cover. I don't recall what spring setup you are running, but even with the steel cover and Hesco spacer I needed to massage the steel cover with a bfh.

Re: Valve cover & HS roller conflict
Ebay, salvage yard or dealer. Make sure you don't get a valve cover from a cash for clunkers vehicle. You will have no luck getting all the liquid silicon left under the baffle out.
