RE: valve covers

you could prolly get a dremmel and grind some reliefs in the metal. Those valve covers are fairly thick anyways.

RE: valve covers

Unless those are tall covers, you'll probably have to grind the baffles out of them. Another trick I learned is to get the rubber (metal ring inside) valve cover gaskets and use 2 on each side. It gives you more clearance.
