Pro mags and valve covers What do most do to get the poly locks to clear. We cut the cross bracing out but I think the covers are flexing and causing a leak on the passenger side.

For both sets of valve covers I've ran with those Rocker's I just grinded down around the I supports a good amount and they worked fine. I cut the one side of the bracing out on my stock valve covers and it didn't make them flex at all. If you cut both sides out I could see that but you don't need to cut both sides out.

You could just pick of a cheapo set on ebay. As long as they have the correct bolt pattern and a gasket retention area, your good to go.

Would they perhaps be wider? I just went out to the garage and slip fit the stock covers on the head, it went on fine with no gasket for height clearance. I have SAs. Would that be an indication that I am O.K.? The engine is upside down because I am working on the $*&%* Canton oil pan, so I did not try rotating the crank to see if anything hit during rotation.
