Bringing this one back after a few busy weeks. Have been busy at work and other summer time things.
I removed the large bulge on the inside of the valve cover. Now the bolts will go in and the cover will sit down on the head with no gasket. However, now the rockers are right up against the inside of the bolt boss.
I now have the covers at my machinist friends. He is going to mill have the thickness away from the bolt boss. After this they should be all set.
Has been a lot of work to get these silly things to fit. I really wanted to stick with them because the low profile design makes them easier to remove in the car than all of the other boxier style covers.
I will post some more pictures when it is finished.
