Default EFI valve covers that will clear roller rockers

Does any one know of valve covers that will clear roller rockers but will keep the hose that connects from the throttle body to the oil fill cap? I need this to pass an emissions visual test in CA. I am using Comp Cams 1.7 aluminium roller rockers.

There are no aftermarket valve covers that I know of that will provide this tube. Why don't you just unbolt the baffle inside the stock valve covers to allow them to clear the roller rockers.

Ok heres something you can look into. It's just an idea. Get the tall aluminum ford valve covers. Get a breather for the cover. Put it were the filler cap would go. Get a long tube extention breath though. I will look like the filler neck on the stockers. Dill and tap a fitting to the side. Run a hose to the throttle body from there. It's an idea. It might look like :ooh::ooh::ooh::ooh::ooh: but take it off when you pass and get your sticker. It only an idea!

Unbolting the baffle should clear your rockers. That is what I have done on several Mustangs and I have had no problems.
