What the EFI users have to do is use a phenolic spacer between the upper & lower intake halves. That raises the upper half, high enough to clear the taller valve cover.

Sorry Aussie:

Between the kids, their summer schedules, productiondeadlines, script rewrites, travel, wife, relatives, dog grooming, meetings with accountants, lawyers, agentsand actors, dental appointments, friends, screenings, showers and sleep, I have only stolen moments to enjoy my Mustang.

As soon as things clear a bit I will attempt to get you guys some sights and sounds...

I have had my valve covers off about 5 or 6 times do to some issues with rocker studs backing off, (don't go there). But I have been using these:

...and have not had to replace them. Metal frame with rubber on both sides seemed like a winner and has worked out great. They may not advertise as such but they are essentially reusable. Never a leak, (to date, anyway).
