Nasty Nates has the welded style $280 (w/o fittings) as well as Billet (which is very attractive $320 w/o fittings).
Phil, is this for use on the Jesel ETP or just ETP?

1/2" spacers should clear just about anything if you machine the baffels out of the passenger side. I would also recommend you upgrade to a ls6 style valey cover if you machine the baffels out.

The issue with this setup, and correct me if I am wrong Phil, the rockers sit up higher with the ETP Heads than stock, thus needing more spacer. I had to trim out the baffles and the deflection plate in my stock covers for use with my stock rockers! So that should tell you the room is tight. ETP uses not only a thicker deck, but they didnt machine it back down to stock size at the rocker pads, like using a 90mm lid, stock MAF and 90mm TB and Intake. They went the same thickness throughout. These heads are BEEF!

On my Chevy heads I had to clearance the rail of the head at each rocker and open the slot some for the push rod. Used 1/2 spacers but had to clearance them at each rocker also. Removed the oil baffels and etc. under the valve covers and ground a little clearance for the end rockers. Works fine now.
