Anyone know if stock valve covers will clear 1.7 RR with .545 lift? I know stock cam has no issues when removing the baffle but I am .100 More than stock now

.101* I'm not sure but you should look into new valve covers anyway. Edelbrock makes a black and brushed aluminum valve cover that would look sick with your manifold.

If you sand it! That was the ****tiest job I have done yet on my car, sanding my engine bay was even better than this! I can give you tip on how to do it, shipping to me would be crap as well!

Screw it get the standard crome ones and sand it off then repaint. 60 Bucks for the covers, + 10 hours or work = Nice Valve covers.

I already have a pair of Moroso Chromies, I want some thick *** covers to curb the noise of my RR's I was thinking about getting the fabricated ones but they are retardedly priced! Plus sanding down my chrome piece didnt turn out nice, I was kinda upset with how it turned out.....I will have to decide, anyone ever use those fabricated ones? They look DOPE

They are the Edelbrock Elite Series Valve Covers. Here are some pictures.
http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/valvecovers.html

http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...1355&langId=-1

On the second link they also have them without the Edelbrock Logo and they look sick as hell. Im not sure if these are what you are looking for but I think they will look really good w/ your motor. And they are only $70 bucks.
