cant you get a spacer or extra thick gaskets?

Well I am already running cork gaskets. I don't think there are thicker ones....and i never heard of a valve cover spacer and I dont feel comfortable with the idea of one if they even exists. I'll just put the tall cheap summit ones on for now since i got them and get some nice Ford Racing ones later in the summer

He was talking about a spacer for your intake incae you have clearance problems running the summit valve covers if you run a spacer you might have your intakehitting your hood.
