I bolted MT covers with Howard Cams roller rockers. They bolted down. I thought they cleared. Started up the motor and heard all hell braking loose for a couple of seconds. Before I tuned off the engine, it got quiet. I took off one side of the valve cover and every dripper was broken off. Luckily I found all the drippers before they wound up down in the engine. Took off the other valve cover and they were also broken off. I ground down smooth what was left of the drippers and reinstalled the covers never to have any more problems.
