Default Adj roller rockers

Anyone with 5.0L engine as in EL to AU fitted the adjustable version of the roller rocker (YT2028) on to the engine?
Was wondering if the adjustables still clear the rocker cover or if you need to get new covers. No one as yet can give me a definate answer so thought one of you guys might have actually done it already.
cheers.

The best way to check it is put the cover on with no gasket and turn it by hand, if it doesnt bind up take it off and put the gasket and you will be fine, the 220 used the same rollers although not adj and was fine. I like the playdoh trick as you can cut it in half and measure what you have.
