330 #2 heads Adjustable Rocker conversion valve cover height?

Hi,

Got a 65 330 with #2 heads, I installed Rocket Racing's adjustable rocker conversion and I am now having issues with the valve cover leaking on the passenger side. When I first installed them I took a ball peen to the baffle and they seemed to fit yet as soon as it ran for a few minutes oil poured out.

I just ordered a set of 11/64 thick FelPro gaskets should this solve my issue or do I need spacers with this conversion?

Regards,

If the rocker assy is not hitting the valve cover preventing it from seating, then possibly the gasket was installed wrong or the valve cover is damaged causing the leak.

As said it is very possible the gasket moved. I would by the rubber gaskets with the rigid carrier, much less chance of them moving around during install.
