NONE of the cast covers are going to clear EVERY aluminum rocker without using thick gaskets and/or trimming the rockers to clear the cast in reliefs for the retaining bolts. You are going to have to commit to a pair and make them fit.

For example Harlan Sharps are quite wide on the pusrod end requiring grinding/rounding the ends near the interference areas. some alloy rockers are smaller and may only require thick V-cover gaskets to clear.
