Just a heads up, I TRIED to install a set of harland sharp roller rockers in my 4.8L and sure enough they didn't fit under the valve covers. That said, I can gaurantee they won't clear in a 5.3L either. To make matters worse, because the roller rockers are so damn big, you can't even use valve cover spacers with them either as the roller rockers sit EXTREMELY close to the top of the cylinder head wall where the lip of the spacer would mate to. The only method of achieving proper clearance would probably be to use aftermarket valve covers which I discovered are expensive. So does anyone know who makes higher ratio (Preferably 1.8:1) roller rockers that WILL fit under factory valve covers?
