[Spridgets] rocker knock

Here is the best pic I have on my phone of the valve cover I was talking about.  If you look to the left in the picture you can see your silicone rad hose Daniel.Mike MacLean

Nope, but had various contacts points in various other places - do you have 
a photo to share?

  They make a valve cover just for 
  this reason.  Moss part number 224-530.   I have high lift 
  rockers on my 1275 in my Bugeye.  No problem with this valve cover.

    I had a very loud knock that sounded absolutely fatal, and I was 
    really worried that I was going to have to open this engine up a second 
    time.  It turned out to be an adjustment screw on the high-lift 
    rockers hitting the alloy valve cover.  A simple solution is to 
    put on a second gasket to raise the height of the cover.  Anyone 
    encountered this before?
