I'm sure when you chrome those rocker arms the chroming process will take up some clearances. I figure you chromed everything else on the car, why stop now?????

Steve, going to stop at NAPA today for your cover gaskets. Sorry it took me a couple days longer than thought, but my car has been in the shop for what I thought was an overheating situation and some a/c work. I got it back yesterday, so today I'll get them ordered.
