Hmm... oddly enough Im in CA also and didn't receive them yet. Probably tomorrow afternoon. I won't install the valve covers till I get my motor in the car. Last thing I want to do is scratch them all up droping the body onto of the motor. I'm debating on whether or not to powder coat them.

Ok, is see. you got the stock size Pro Forms.
What about the "tall" Pro Forms for $30 more bucks?
Those are about the only ones to fit all rockers, (and even some shaft rockers).

They are actually "medium high" not "tall".

Do the cantons use the stock rubber gasket too?

The Cantons use any regular silicone valve cover gasket.

I received my pair of Canton Valve covers today and I'm having issues with the CC Pro Magnum rockers rubbing on the passenger side instep. Here are some pics.

In this picture you can see where the rocker arm rubs against the valve cover. I also noticed the locating tab right above it is bent too far away from the head so I will have to bend it a little to get it to settle.




You can see in this pic where it was rubbing on the rocker arm.



Here is a crappy picture of the valve covers on the motor.



And from the back.
