With some thicker valve cover gaskets they'll fit.

Butler performance sells a gasket that is 5/16" thick. You'll need some longer bolts to hold the cover down with the thicker gaskets.

Would it be a safe assumption that PRW's are made "off-shore". I found their website and they don't mention specifically where their products are made.

I did notice that the PRW rockers are made of 15-5 stainless and the Crower rockers are made of 17-4. That would would make the Crowers better because of the slightly higher yield strength and slightly less elongation %.

Notwithstanding all of the suggestions and comments about going with Crower (my first choice), are the PRW's inherently inferior? After all there is a $200 difference in price.
