Roller rocker question

A buddy of mine asks if he needs to have extra clearance under the valve covers for roller rockers in a small block Chevy [350]. I told him I didn't think so, but I'd have to check. Anyone know for sure?

I think most full roller rocker do need the clearance. But if they are roller tip rockers I dont think there would be a problem.
