Default Valve Cover/Oil Baffle Clearance ??Question??

Anyone have the thread on how to grind and make 86-93 valve covers clear roller rockers??? The rocker arm nut is up against the oil baffle, curious to see how other guys fixed this without removing the baffle.

I was able to retain the baffle on my 93GT, by beating it with a brass drift.

do you have any problems with oil being circulated back into your intake with that baffle gone?
