Vortec Valve Covers question

[Jay92Ty]

Do the newer vortec valve covers fit on the stock LB4 heads. I like the look of those better than the stock ones but not for sure if they'll fit? My guess is yes, but wanna make sure before removing them. Thx guys!

The Vortec composite valve covers are tight on clearance for the valvetrain. If I rember correctly they don't clear almost any aftermarket roller rockers. I use Vortec valve cover but I have the later factory shaft mounted rockers.

I used them with self align roller tip rockers. The vortec covers seal way better with their o ring based gaskets. No rust no dents no leaks, I'd say go for it
