Default Roller rockers? Edel RPM heads?

Hey, I'm gathering up FE parts, and need some advice. Does anyone know if Comp Cam roller rockers will fit under the alum Cobra Lemans covers? I've already got the Lemans covers, I'm going to use Edel RPM heads, but I haven't bought them yet. I've got a nice set of Ford OEM adj rocker arms, but I just scored a set of the blue Comp Cam roller rockers (#1046-16) on hardened shafts on ebay. Hope I can use the Comps; if not, I'll resell them.

Also, a couple of questions on the FE RPM heads. I saw a comment on some forum (this one or ??) that the Edel heads came with a oil restrictor to the top end, but others I've talked to said I need to install the restrictor.

Does everyone running the RPM heads use studs on the heads for the rocker arm bases instead of bolts?

Comments??

thanks in advance for your replies!
