[Spridgets] rocker knock

[Michael MacLean]

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.Mike MacLean

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?   Michael RoweThe Holy Sprite
